Busy Bank Holiday

Hello again,

Oh boy - I really feel like I am going for it this week.  Good job it is a long weekend with an extra day.  I needed it as I have been busy making three projects that I would like to enter into four challenges.

1.  Less is More Challenge 66 Colour Challenge - Yellow and also cas-ual Fridays CFC 51 - Birthdays challenge.

It is basically three yellow circles, the middle size one stamped in black versafine using Stampin' Up's Friendly background stamp, all three soaked in water until soft then crumpled up by hand, dried with a heat gun and stuck together with a very small black card (uncrumpled) centre.  The stem and leaves are green ribbon with a Happy Birthday sentiment stamped in the corner.


2.  St Lukes Charity Card Challenge - May - One Layer

This one is made using a Belles and Whistles stamp - Beary Big Hugs.  I coloured her in with Pro-markers, made a die cut oval shape and used that as a mask so that I could blend in Scattered Straw Distress Ink round the outside, then used the small flower stamp from Stampin Up's Bliss stamp set around the edge in Scattered Straw again.  The sentiment is from Studio G - estampes claires range.


3.  Scrapbook Sisters - Stamped Background

A new website and challenge for me.  I have not done a lot of scrapbooking but you have to start somewhere and I have acquired so much stock over a period of time so here goes ...

The papers are from Stampin' Up.  I think they are from a retired set now.  I have used Inkylicious Splodge & Splat and Swiss Dots set, Hero Arts Harlequin Pattern Block, PaperArtsy - HP1102 and Stampin' Up Vintage Vogue.  The "Life is uncertain - eat dessert first" came from Scrapbook.com-quotes. which I printed off and punched out using Stampin' Ups Word Window punch, the pink flowers were made using an X-Cut punch.  Inks used Memento Rich Cocoa, Stampin' Ups Crumb Cake and Distress Inks Brushed Corduory, Scattered Straw and Spiced Marmalade.  I also used Crumb Cake card, buttons and ribbons.  I don't think I have missed anything.

In case you are wondering the story behind the cakes is I brought my sister a cake decorating kit for Christmas 2011, later in the evening we decided to have a play with it.  Please bear in mind the cakes were decorated after a couple of classes of wine, a hugh Christmas Day dinner plus countless chocolates.  Not too bad considering.

Thanks for having a read and I look forward to any comments you may be kind enough to leave.
