Good morning, my lovely Blogging friends! Firstly, I must apologise for being MIA this week, only Mr Design Mojo decided to show his face and I was on a roll! Last year, I got to the point where I wondered if I would design again becuase of my lack of enthusiasm and with the uncertainty concerning our house refurbishment, but it seems, I have found some mojo at last!
Anyway...as I sit here typing this, this is the view from my front door...
...HUGE, cotton wool ball snowflakes are just cascading from a white sky! There isn't a breath of wind and the silence is surreal! It's coming down thick and fast and already sticking on the road...our fickle British weather never ceases to amaze me - if it carries on like this, they'll be sending my eldest home from school as it's 8 miles away!
Well, I do have a little crafty creation to share with you today (thank goodness, you say!) so without further ado, here it is...
This card came in the Top 3 at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #245 - thanks for choosing me!
...This is the other card that I made using the ever so sweet Sympathy Bugs from Wee Stamps. I coloured this one in very soft, muted colours and paired it up with a pretty paper from First Edition's Isabelle paper pad...
...I coloured the little bugs with my Pro/Flexmarkers and this is another one that I wrote the colours down on a bit of paper...famous last words! I know it was Cool Grey 1, 3 & 4, Light Fawn, Aquamarine, Muted Pink, Pastel Beige, Soft Khaki, Khaki, Sandstone, Caramel, Umber, Blush...
...I drew around a scalloped border die to add detail to the card base and layered one of the borders on top. I finished with some satin ribbon and bow, pearls, glitter and a little cameo using part of the image. I added the sentiment 'Thinking of you' as this is going to go to my lovely Auntie Di, who is a little bit poorly at the moment and I thought it might cheer her up a touch!
Thanks for dropping in on me today and I hope that the weather is being kind wherever you are - we're up to about an inch of snow already, in the time it's taken me to type this! Have a great Monday and I'll be back tomorrow with a new challenge for Passion for Promarkers! See you soon,
Big crafty hugs,
Lisa x
