Wow, didn't think I was gonna make it this week (still a heavy workload at the moment) but here is my entry for the fabulous TH challenge at Studio L3. I have just been catching up on Linda's blog and she supports some amazing people - love it Linda, keep rocking us with your fab work and interesting news.
So this week turn to P.38 in the great book to find out how to do the technique this week, it is quite simple but so effective.
I also made this to fit the challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show, which this week is to use your favourite TH stamp. Mine is the flourish stamp from the Shabby French collection and has been so well used. The paper is Basic Grey for another challenge and the moths (butterflies?) are from Scrolls Work. I have just received an order from them of some small stamps and I love them. Next June I am going to be GD for a month with them woohoo. The layout is Sketch Saturday although I have flipped it. There are some other challenges I had in mind which are listed below.
I thought I would also just show you a card Ella made for me yesterday - she's four and loves to make things - just like her Mum and her Granny.
I hope you are well and having a good day. It's raining here and I now must go and do some real work to keep up to date with paperwork I have to get emailed out. Have a great day.

Brenda, you made it with plenty of time to spare, and I'm so glad, because this is STUNNING! Every time I see that cool lamp post stamp, I think of my favorite story, A Christmas Carol, and that always makes me smile, but I've never seen that stamp used this beautifully! Those colors and that gorgeous glow around the flame make it so realistic.
ReplyDeleteYou completely rocked the perfect distress technique, and the golden background really accentuates the shimmer. And how cool and unexpected to add those fabulous moths!
I love this tag.
Congrats on your upcoming DT gig at Scrolls Work, too. I met the owner a few nights back, and she's awesome!
Please tell the very talented Ella that she's welcome to join in on the challenges anytime! She's quite an artist already! What a treasure she made for you!
