Good afternoon to you all in the land of blog
Today I have been playing, I got up early and cleared all the housework and ran upstairs to my Beach Hut to play with my crafty bits. I had a couple or so challenge is mind, and had a few DT pieces to do as well. But spent a good hour photographing a fishing net tutorial. I had received so many comments and mails asking how to create it that I though I best have a go. So Matt very kindly obliged, so this will follow soon.
But for now here are my favourite critters, this is another of my Autumn images from my pack which I purchased from Grimsby Crafts, I have to say it was easier on the colouring than the last one :) but equally as fabulous.
Here it is
The card follows the following sketch
from Midnight Madness
and
of course I was aiming for the House Mouse Challenge
The base colour on the card is a deep chocolate brown this is also the contrast colour. The papers are from the Papermania Mono range and I adore this particular one. The ribbon is from the Hobby House as are the Pearls. The lace is from Grimsby Crafts and believe it or not the little maple leaves are off the floor in my garden, I just added some diamond stickles around the image plate and onto the leaves. The image has been coloured in copics and the sky airbrushed, with a little edge distressing with E31.
