The days are getting longer here in the UK, although it does feel as though they are moving a lot faster too!

I decoupaged Scruff with two extra layers and gave him some rosy cheeks using Distress Ink on a cotton bud (the easiest way to create blush, I think). I stamped the birthday sentiment using my stamp platform and added the die cut sentiment using foam pads before finishing with some sequins and pearls...</p><p>I hope you can find the time to play along with our <a href="https://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com/2024/03/week729-colours-of-spring.html" target="_blank">seasonal challenge</a> this week and look forward to seeing all of your Spring inspired makes...</p><p>Crafty hugs,</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhReC7aF-naRw7U0LONaAa2Q7ihl2AWaexip6yulArYjK6Nm3_6GIrKSunk6tqLtKK5Kl_NtsE34S3yWMFijc8Kue8X5bFDb_XmtkzrJBqMEygvcCcTllCUNm9QOjxVSNMEdFvS6RziS55UO0krncqYhXFV_DL5m9lSzJTT0Kfpnngx61mPPTsdKvl2_TRy/s579/SIGNATURE.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="337" data-original-width="579" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhReC7aF-naRw7U0LONaAa2Q7ihl2AWaexip6yulArYjK6Nm3_6GIrKSunk6tqLtKK5Kl_NtsE34S3yWMFijc8Kue8X5bFDb_XmtkzrJBqMEygvcCcTllCUNm9QOjxVSNMEdFvS6RziS55UO0krncqYhXFV_DL5m9lSzJTT0Kfpnngx61mPPTsdKvl2_TRy/s320/SIGNATURE.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Ella's Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00257124642971371213noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393861423021463258.post-68529147376084007312024-02-21T19:20:00.004+00:002024-02-21T19:20:52.109+00:00Passion for Markers - Dies and/or Punches...<p> Good evening, crafty friends!

It is definitely a case of cluttered house, cluttered mind and I have been busy building flat pack furniture and decorating to store the multitude of stuff that I brought home. I cannot even get into my craft room properly, so this card was created mainly on a board on my knee?!...</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="1140" height="84" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9dieiOtlecvHnTD_kOAuqNdNwUEAuqYt1KTkVOdE2TpAn9c4wxUEIR9ghyphenhyphenIQWzRPSPXoqGreXBweZsHGEL_70quQBZyTNG9xLC2TovdwYVo0VsUvz-OE9DB1C2TrnrMvpiu8KL3nmNeMRd5gClzVEm7RqElLzj5VrZxEj7_PlpG12A9sFjEFtM2QuM-gH/s320/PfM%20Header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>The lovely <a href="https://kompis-kort-by-mi.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Marie</a> is in the hostess chair this week and she always gives us a nice, easy theme - this week being 'Use Dies and/or Punches'...</p><p>We are being sponsored by <a href="https://www.doctor-digi.com/index.php?route=common/home" target="_blank">Dr Digis House of Stamps</a> who are offering one lucky winner 2 digital images from their online store...</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.doctor-digi.com/index.php?route=common/home" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6S9HHXgJqAoJ7xq34Hu6hZ3lmSFFctfx5eT_sIjiq8tYilO0cdOToKbVcayUc4ilSdh4y-a2phjM1rwanwfHzRTqPb5SLRaQQTA5F05um2fkExcd3bnk3fYgGjJJSRJvpEVncCdomUAZkg46tbr1yMwC4_9tk2i9pg7FbZnVQARjGpZ51d3CuL54e3iUq/w200-h200/dr%20digi.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out <a href="https://www.doctor-digi.com/bobs-balloons?search=bob%27s%20balloons&description=true" target="_blank">Bob's Balloons</a>...<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX4pNwe8IzQTjXm6_Me3a_390uOIAqRYQTyVXLXNvWu7aMj_85Zi_OBdE0Cj7Wak6n0EFN47u-LKRA7RxNSdO0ri0QpjyHLxoraOL4NEwB6RcokpBc3vqvYhENqKn_eYyfJmMIKPjfZkV-iTPqzNyJgSGOTlmRg0LJtenGC6uPfU8NnCS9_DznqqKh9Sgd/s856/PfM%2020th%20Feb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="856" data-original-width="850" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX4pNwe8IzQTjXm6_Me3a_390uOIAqRYQTyVXLXNvWu7aMj_85Zi_OBdE0Cj7Wak6n0EFN47u-LKRA7RxNSdO0ri0QpjyHLxoraOL4NEwB6RcokpBc3vqvYhENqKn_eYyfJmMIKPjfZkV-iTPqzNyJgSGOTlmRg0LJtenGC6uPfU8NnCS9_DznqqKh9Sgd/w636-h640/PfM%2020th%20Feb.jpg" width="636" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><p>I just used a portion of the image and created a CAS card with some paper piecing and doodling.

So we're into February and the days are slowly starting to get longer (yay!) but Spring still seems a long way off....my crafty mojo is still nowhere to be seen, but I think that's because of the fact that the house is in complete disarray after having to empty Mum's and not being able to resist bringing a lot of stuff home!

I have
been absent from crafting for a little while as my lovely Mum passed
away at the end of November and I have been spending my time sorting out
her affairs and house (no mean feat when she was a maker and crafter
like me!) But now it is a new year and she would want us to move
forwards and live life, which I'm hoping will continue to include
crafting...</p><p>It is the start of a brand new challenge over at <a href="https://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Passion for Markers</a> and our newbie DT member <a href="https://sarahssortofsecretdiary.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sarah</a> (check out her fabulous creations!) has given us a super challenge theme of 'Use a stencil'...</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="1140" height="84" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkmAPjYQN5Mdz4wD2XbQTfuUrlYg55DQYP2-2B921kAZVCv5r_PNIy1wq0HEzJhr0E9yL9AgvjsLVRTAMhs3vudnKXb-hek4sgTDsQ5hGhMinhGymSJqiW0QUZIsqSKtSQiS5qCuVsWYM40hgZ2MiIIL3egVpCxSyf3Z7dscL6sUSgbq8-rvjss12ysaN5/s320/PfM%20Header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>We're being sponsored by <a href="https://www.disdigistamps.com/" target="_blank">Di's Digi Stamps</a> who are offering one lucky winner a £6.00 voucher to their online store...</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.disdigistamps.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="746" data-original-width="960" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0RSqrRJjUA3eBpLuarwZ-41Gf0qK3UgJSKcE3mSeWRAWPzzcExUHdmzyVpw5okRqY4VGskCGYYAdPMUYIMw4vv0DJMbW54DlR1dJuEvJZcYD4SI9k_IwFkjv8obbv2bZNW-HzitT5a4_cKYSpKj2cqGCi_W6yI2vdJgmebJ3llDNvLyEMlPU3JoYU7wbn/w200-h156/Di's%20Digital%20Stamps%5B3%5D.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p>I
must admit that I never really used stencils in crafting until a couple
of years ago and am slowly building my stash (as you do?!), but one of
my favourite things to do is find uses for the tools that I already
have...so I made my own stencil from a piece of plastic packaging and my
cloud border dies...(if you know me well enough, then what else was it
going to be?!)...</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW5CInSQdDD34uhXI8YVjHvMOBBwsaOvpUNWGbgR8uYpwvMeUibxbYJt1PqZf33v9Unc_0mtoj_mK8xhqfXR4Hx-TI44pOmf1W5EL7zvoeDnyJDVHuQ6zLFNI36KNAXehuZhb53QgNIhT5PdZnlLJp6OT-fzUaXKIGY6x2ceI9WaumoBTmg4ourNlkKCxt/s899/PfM%209th%20January.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="899" data-original-width="850" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW5CInSQdDD34uhXI8YVjHvMOBBwsaOvpUNWGbgR8uYpwvMeUibxbYJt1PqZf33v9Unc_0mtoj_mK8xhqfXR4Hx-TI44pOmf1W5EL7zvoeDnyJDVHuQ6zLFNI36KNAXehuZhb53QgNIhT5PdZnlLJp6OT-fzUaXKIGY6x2ceI9WaumoBTmg4ourNlkKCxt/w606-h640/PfM%209th%20January.jpg" width="606" /></a></div><br /> I
used a sweet Clearly Besotted stamp set that I picked up from a destash
page some time ago and coloured the elements with my alcohol markers
before fussy cutting out, leaving a border...<p></p><p>I inked the
clouds with Broken China, Cracked Pistachio and Squeezed Lemonade
Distress Oxides and added a polka dot paper to the bottom third. I die
cut some clouds from scrap and inked the edges with Broken China before
adding with foam pads. I finished with some simple sentiments that I
found in various sets and a few sequin sprinkles, just because...</p><p>I

A post between challenges!...</p><p>I must hold my hands up and admit to having neglected my little corner of Blogland for a while, but these days life seems to get in the way of everything else and like most people, time is a scarce resource to be used wisely!
