MFT Challenge - Slimline Birthday...

 Hey,

Happy Monday!

Today I got the first dose of the vaccine!!

I hardly ever join in card challenges at the moment, been a bit distracted by all my digital playing.

But the current MFT Slimline Challenge sparked my interest.

I used Pink Fresh Studio Slimline dies (as these are the only ones I have!) and created this fun card. I am OBSESSED with the mini and micro cloud edger stencils, I cannot stop using them and they look amazing on a slimline card - cue me making these cards forever LOL. I used the mini version for this card.

I stamped the sentiment repeatedly (from Essential Sentiments), not only to fill the space but to create a bit of interest. I love the Zippy Zebras set and the one on the scooter is my fave and I used the butterflies from that set around my sentiment on my background. The grass die is by Lawn Fawn.

Fun card, that I am super happy with - now who do I send it to...

CTD: Word...

Hey,

Happy Saturday!

I had a nice morning, leisurely stroll to the bagel shop with Hubby and then we sat on a bench, enjoying the sunshine and our bagels.

I loved the Color Throwdown colours this week -

I thought I'd use a Zebra for the black and white part of the swatch. I smooshed some Broken China distress oxide ink and picked it up with acetate to get a more precise smoosh onto my white panel. I added some black ink splatters, which sadly were not dry when I put my card together (sigh).

The white panel was die-cut using a stitched, dotted, scalloped rectangle die from The Works in London. The Zebra is ancient (circa 2016 and he was second-hand then..), he is from the Waffle Flower 'Monochrome' set and I really should attempt to buy the dies, as I hate fussy cutting so very much!

The sentiment is by Recollections from their 'Creative Chaos' set and I felt like my Zebra would totally be saying this LOL.

I'm pretty pleased with him - I really need to use this set more!

CASology: Squiggle..

Hey,

Happy Friday to you!

I've had a good week on my own without Hubby. I've mainly been in the gym or at my desk..when I am not at work, no crazy nights out..

Today is a bit exciting as it is the start of both the 30 days of colouring AND ICAD 2018.. can't wait!

This week's CASology cue card had a lot of possibilities..

I thought it would be great to break out a stamp set I bought earlier this year - 'Bokeh Dots' by Ellen Hutson and Julie Ebersole.

I think the scribbly circles count as squiggles - right?

I bought the crazy Zebra embellishment last year in the Michael's Black Friday sale and forgot about them, until I came across them this week!

The sentiment felt like a perfect fit for this card and is by Gerda Steiner from the 'Llama Tell You' set.

A fun, easy to make card and I have x3 more Zebra's left, so I might make another one..

It also feels a teeny bit like a Tenia Nelson card..she is one of my craft crushes (swoon..)

Have a great weekend, I'll be gyming, lunching, playing at my desk.

And to quote Tenia..Werd!
