Magazine Card

Hello there everyone how are you all? Hope you are all well.

Well I will be in Devon now....soon be cooking a full english breakfast (its the law when on holiday to cook one every morning lol) but before I went I did have time to do 1 or 2 posts lol.

This is a card that I forgot to show you so thought I would do a quick post to show you it.

I was asked to do a card for Papernest Dolls for a magazine, there were quite a few gorgeous cards going in this magazine by fabulously talented crafters.

Here is my card which I kept foofiness to a minimum.

She is a rubber stamp called 'Bird Nest'.......I'm sure she is called that lol, my brain is all mixed up with flour after a heap of baking I did before my hols....cheesecakes, quiche's, biscuits & cakes lol.

I coloured her with copics. Papers are from my stash & I cannot remember what pad they are from.....they were machine sewn as always.

The small tag I think is CC Design's die. The border above the lace is a MS punch.

The sentiment is Stamping Bella.....again I think. It was done a while ago & I cant remember everything I used now lol.

I do know though that all the flowers are WOC lol.

I was extremely chuffed as this card make the cover..............yayyyy me, so happy lol. Though I have to say hubby was even happier, he rushed out again to buy the magazine & then wanted frame it.........I drew the line there dont worry lol. Its in my cupboard in my craft studio lol.

Here is the magazine it was in.

Ok I'm off now & will be back again soon.

Take care lovelies & thank you for stopping by.

Bit Of CAS...........

Hello there hope you all had a lovely jubbly Easter. We had a lovely one & spent it with the family. Though on Saturday night we decided at 7pm to rush through to B&Q to get some tiles for the kitchen lol. Yep we bunged Natalie into her wheelchair, put her in the van & away went a very excited Vicky lol. Yep small things, small minds lol. Though we also got Natalie's wallpaper for her bedroom & bathroom when the building work is finished..........OMG.....the wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous.....

Anyhoo I'm babbling here when I only meant to do a quick post & show you a CAS Card I made for Christine of Papernest Dolls. I made this over a month ago & completely forgot I hadn't shown you.........oops ;-)

When I made the Gift Bag for her I decided at the last minute I would make her another little surprise to have on her stall at the show. So CAS it had to be & this was made EXTREMELY fast!!!

The papers are Maja Design from the Vintage Summer 6x6 pad, I lurve this pad!! I think this paper go beautifully with the image..........I nearly went for something else but Maja fullfilled the job perfectly dont you think ;-)

Ok so the stamp is called 'Spring Basket Avery' & I coloured her VERY fastly with Copics & paper pieced her headband & boots in the same Maja Design papers. 

Sorry I cant remember what colours I used, I really did colour her so fast....I wasn't really happy with it but I was running out of time :-(

The borders I used a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is from LOTV & I added a small Prima flower from my stash. Of course lots of stitching everywhere as well lol.

For all you Magnolia lovers there is a new challenge run by my uber talented teamie Diana, its called 

'ALL ABOUT MAGNOLIA' Challenge & it's a monthly challenge & this month is super easy.........the theme is everyone's favourite 'ANYTHING GOES'...........

Also I'm a new DT member there, I cant tell you how utterly excited & honoured I am to work with uber talented ladies.

Well I'm off to get DT work done as I barely got anything done over the weekend, as I've ended up with a kidney infection again :-( Darn things, but never mind.

So I will say tatty bye lovelies, thank you sooooooo much for stopping by.

 Take care, lotsa hugs Vicky xxxxxxxxxx
