St Georges Day

As well as being St Georges Day today is also Hubby's birthday. Here are two of the cards that I made for him, the top one is from me and the bottom one is from his Dad. For the top one I used one of the newer releases from Pink Ink, I stamped the Elephant and then masked with fluid before spraying the background with Sprinky inks from Inkylicious. When it was dry I placed a stencil over and inked through with a similer colour. I coloured the Elephant with alcohol markers after rubbing away the masking fluid.

 The bottom card was made using dies and papers from The Paper and Wood collection I bought from Create and Craft some time ago. The background was from the USB that came with the Decoupage Collection in the last post and the sentiment is from Crafters Companion.

Thank you for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.
Take care and stay safe everyone.

Anything From The Animal Kingdom

I should really have posted before now, but with the way things are in the UK at present it seemed to throw me for a bit. In my last post I told you I was off for a Crafty Retreat with some of the members of the group I belong to. We were at Kenilworth for the weekend the 14th and 15th March, I'm so glad that we went ahead with it as everything has been cancelled now. We had a great time although one member could not make it as her husband became unwell on the Friday evening and over night, she stayed away just in case. On the Sunday evening my close crafting buddy and I along with hubby's (we live very near to each other) went up the the Yorkshire Dales until the last Friday. We had a great week, the weather was kind to us. My friends husband is a keen cyclist and got out and about everyday riding some very hign hills, while my hubby took us out and about around the Dales. Coming home along the M1 we could not believe how quiet it was for what is normally an extreamly busy road. Since coming back it has taken me a few days to get my head around not going out and not mixing with other people. But today I seem to have woken up with a well what the hell attitude and decided to get some of my unused stash out and take it for a whirl.

First up is this card made with some dies and paper pad that I bought last year from Create and Craft called Paper and Wood. They came in sets of 4 and I have 2 sets and I also bought the other month, from the same artist, a different set only this is on a USB to use with the Scan n Cut. There are several layers to each bird and a background to pop them onto. I'm taking my bird over to the Allsorts Blog this week as they are asking for Anything From The Animal Kindom.

As we are all confined to home at the moment I have no excuses for not posting on the blog more often.

Take care everyone and thank you for visiting and your comments which are always appreciated.
