Thank you............................................

Good morning to you all in the land of blog

well even though it is my extra day off today, I still got up at the crack of dawn, to get on with the household chores, oh OK, blogger posts got in my way and just had to read them and then reply to comments JUST HAD TO!!!! honest, so then moved on to make a card...........................so still have the ironing to do, have just left something drying so will post this and do some ironing in between crafting............sounds good don't you think??

Anyway before I move on I got a right happy feeling this morning when I read the Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge winner post................................yep that would be me, so have to say thank you to the lovely ladies, BUT WAIT, I went down a post and last weeks winner at Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge had been redrawn........................yep that would be me again, felt so cheeky but absolutely thrilled to bits so a BIG THANK YOU to Kellie and her fabulous team. So now you can see why the smile on my face was ear to ear :)

So now I can move on to what I created still smiling as you can imagine, so here is what I made this morning and I started with the sketch at Midnight Madness although I rotated mine

and felt that as it was the time of remembrance and that I really wanted to enter the current House Mouse challenge that I would try to combine all three and then some including Simon Says Stamp Photo Inspirational 

So here is my unusual creation for today

I have made a House Mouse Thank you card.  The base layer and contrast is a pale grey to ensure that the lovely poppy paper with white background stands out.  The twine tied ribbon from Grimsby Crafts was yellow and wanted to use this a greenery behind my hand made poppies, so air brushed it with YG25.  The image has also be edged in R39 via the air brush it really does give such a soft edging.  Here is a close up of my favourite little critter coloured as always in copics with a little clear glitter sakuro on the stamps.  Made the stamp flowers into poppies too :) ish

Think he went just  a tad over the top with the stamps lol xx

Now if you have not noticed, although I am sure you have my new 600 follower candy has been posted and you can enter this here . I would like to welcome all my new followers  and wish all my followers luck in the 600 follower candy.
