Morning peeps, hope you are all well and had a really good weekend. I am on cloud nine cos count down time is here for some lovely cool weather, roll on Wednesday when I can escape this heat - UK here I come! Maybe better get a wee crafty shopping list ready, what thinks you?
Today sees the start of a new challenge at
Die Cut Dreams and this week we would like to see some
MATERIAL
on your creations but you must use material other than ribbon or trim to be in with a chance to win this weeks prize.
Bloomin heck hubby wasn´t too pleased when he saw I had cut into his shirt, poor darling does the ironing and said at least I could have let him wear it first, hey come on I didn´t want a sweaty bit o material - trust men!
I decided to cut the circular panel with my nestie and now wish I had mounted it onto white card - this shirt is/WAS so fine and the orange card does show through a bit but whey hey it is all in the aid of completing a challenge ROFL.
I have inked up Sailing Boat from Lili of the Valley and coloured with copics and prismas, these stamps are such a snip at only £3.75 each. I stamped onto the shirt with versafine to create the sails and again onto the orange card for the mast and flag. I also recycled some wire from a wine bottle to create the wee beaded dangly, added a cute wee yacht charm sent by a friend, spacer and brad all from stash. Backing paper is by Papermania and corners are Double Do dies.
