Crafts & Me DT........... The Silentness....

Hello everyone how are you all? We actually jave a little sun up here in the North today woo-hoo. I am late with this post I actually forgot I had not put my post on & went to Ikea to get more storage for my craft room.......my wrists have been slapped!!!! Over the winter I brought some of my crafting stuff out of my hobbit & hubby let me use half the conservatory which was fab but gosh it was hard not having loads of room & to be honest I've forgotten half of what I have in my craft room lol. This week however I'm moving back in there so hubby took me shopping lol.

Anyway how have your weekends been? My was eventful you could say......my hubby went fishing & nearly drowned thankfully he was helped by others.... I tell ya that man will be the death of me....I've told him I've putting some live fish in our little pond/water feature in the back garden & he can sit there with his rod. He can be my life size gnome, I will even get him a hat lol...Then the following day he became ill & has been really ill all weekend which is why I didnt have time to craft cus I was busy looking after hubby & Natalie has been miss grumpy pants this weekend.... Thankfully tho he is alright now & on top form again.....phew!! So what turned out to be bad luck was in fact good luck cus I have my hubby here with me instead of it been much much worse!!!

Well that was my weekend. So here I am to show you a card I've made with a stamp available at 

Crafts & Me

I did have a little time over the weekend  & I mean a little lol.....so I decided to get my distress inks out obviously I'm still in practice mode on these.....I tried months ago but havnt used them since. Well I wanted to use a sweet pea stamp from the artist Ching-Chou Kuik but give it a different look.....so this is where the inks came in.....I went for soft colours & vintage-y...is that a word???

Anyway here she is she is called 'The Silentness'

Isn't she so beautiful & just chillaxing there........ooohhh wish I was chillaxing outside on a lovely warm summer day.......anyway back to reality. She has been painted with Distress Inks which made a nice change.

For the card I followed the fab sketch on 'Friday Sketchers'

I added diamond dust stickles to her wings & bits of flowers. I also edged her wings with silver liquid pearls which looks fab in real life. The sentiment is from Lilli Of The Valley I got it to go with my Molly Harrison stamps which are still sealed in there packets.......bad bad me!!

The flower at the bottom I made myself & added a pearl button to the middle.

The paper is Prima 'Botanical' which is a new released pad & OMG the paper is gorgeous, I need another pad just for stroking!! All edges were distressed with my stressy tool & inked with Vintage Photo. The punched edges was made using  a MS punch around the page set.

Now if you have been over to the store today you will have seen that Teresa has released

Jasmine Beckett-Griffith so if you are wanting any of these beauties get yourself over there quickly cus you wont want to miss these, 1 variety have already sold out. The other new releases will be released very soon. Teresa has her hands very full at the moment as her daughter is poorly......so her time is with her daughter as we can all understand.

So sending her daughter huge get well hugs for her to get well real soon. You can still place orders & they will be dispatched as quickly as possible.

Well thats it from me for now. Dont forget we still have our challenge 'Red' over here if you fancy entering 1 of your fabulous creations....there is still time.

So I will say tatty bye I'm off to have a romantic night with my hubby.

Look what he got for me.....

I got a big bouquet of flowers which were harder to photo than an easel card & I got a  huge 'Me To You' bear holding red roses........I love my hubby he's just the best.

Because its valentine I wont be around tonight but I promise to blog hop tomorrow morning to catch up with all creations made today. I hope you all have a lovely night....Happy Valentine to you all.
