Old meets new

Thank you all for visiting my blog and leaving lovely messages. It is great to be back playing. As I moved some of my stash from A to B and left to right and back again , out poppet this scrap of work which may have been my attempt at t-bag folding. I took a piece of card I didn’t like and overprinted it as I needed to check if my printer worked in it's new position (I can now reach the ciss to refil it without acrobatics) and then played with my latest bit of stash. Well I have been quite good lately so deserved a treat – lol. It wasn’t the die on my wish list, as that one was out of stock, and I hummd and haaahd but it is definitely my sort of die. I cannot believe that the card candi fits perfectly in the centre. So I’ll pop it on here. Later today  I toddle along for a shearing in case I get mistaken for a dulux dog next time I go out even in a slight breeze. Enjoy your crafty fun and hope you are all keeping well. 

Paper and card - card blank is a 19 x 12cm made using overprinted card,
  the die cut paper is from annamarie designs 6x6.

Dies used – Poppystamps(Memory Box) Grand Gothic Stained Glass,

Gypsophila flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts

and a single card candi.

First Washi Play

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my little ski boy. I am pleased to be playing again so I got out my new goodies and did just that. I was going to put a topper on this card but I might leave it. So without further ado here is my play.

Paper and card - card blank is a 6x6 from Joanna Sheen ,

   the papers are from annamariedesigns bought at Westpoint.

Dies used - Spellbinders Grand Decorative Circles One (smallest die) for the background, 

also used Die-namics Bookmark, layered rose and Retro Squares

and topped it off with 2 black roses and 3 white from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I put the washi tape onto 160gsm Text and Graphics then cut it with the retro squares die, I separated the end piece which had a small piece of washi tape to use in the top right corner.

 

 

Tea Fairy

I cannot believe it is Friday already, where did the week go to. I pottered about yesterday with a bad FM day so didn't get anything done except help a little with dinner. Wednesday was one of these days when I got things wrong like doing my die cut before stamping the image, putting the clear sentiment stamp on the block writing side down and inking it, couldn't get the embossing powder to do what I wanted so decided it probably wasn't a day for a heat gun. I had a great day on Tuesday and managed a 3 hour round trip to help a forum friend. It was a lovely day and also great to have a look round another crafter's den. 
So here we are on Friday and I've had fun with this little fairy. Fairies are definitely among my favourite things.
