Dies and or Punches

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday.  Hope your week went well and that you've something fun planned for the weekend.

We are celebrating Victoria Day on Monday which means a 3 day weekend..woo hoo!

There is always a mass exodice out of the city as this typically is the start of cottage season.

Weather promises to be lovely...stay safe on the roads everyone.

And for those of us staying home...there is planting to be done!

Now today starts a new challenge at 

Fussy & Fancy Friday Challenge #164

where our lovely Lozzy is the host choosing the theme "Dies or Punches"

I've coloured a newer image from The Paper Shelter, our wonderful

sponsor this week called "Green Apples" available here.

The tree is a Memory Box die, cut once in kraft then again in green.  I removed the leaves

from the green die cut and added them to the kraft image.
In hindsight it would have been a lot faster doing it the other way around..silly me!
Picket Fence is a PoppyStamps.

Apple is a Martha Stewart punch

Image cut using MFT stitched rectangle die

Coloured with Copics

Hi everyone,

I hope you're having a good week.

This is my favourite time of year. Everything is so green and lush

...just need it to warm up a bit though!

On to today's new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #305

where our lovely host Julieanne has chosen the theme

"No Designer Paper"

I've coloured with Copics an image from our fabulous sponsor

Lacy Sunshine

 

This fella is called Jeronny Gnome

To create the background, I masked the image and used a toothbrush to sprinkle some dots.

I put a few drops of TH Stream Adirondac alcohol ink on my Tim Holtz craft sheet
 and sprayed white Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to dilute it. 

 Dipped the toothbrush in and using my finger splattered some on the paper.  

I used TH Fired Brick and Glimmer Mist for the red.

Sentiment created in Word

Good morning all,

I hope your week is going well.  

Today starts a new challenge at Fab'n'Funky where I get to host for the week.

I have chosen the theme "3 or more layers".   A fairly easy one I hope...we all like to

For my card today I copic coloured a Just Inklined image called SingleMalt that was just perfect

for my Son's birthday.

 Details

Card base is 6x6 inch square of Bazzill Walnut cream cardstock

Kraft cardstock is the first layer, followed by a sheet from TH Paper Stash, Lost and Found pad.  

All kraft layers were distressed with TH Vintage Photo distressed ink.

Next I added layers of turquoise and kraft coloured burlap, topped with 2 layers of kraft and turquoise cardstock embossed with Cuttlebug birthday embossing folder.  Sentiment is from  LOTV. Charm from my stash.Turquoise twine is an old Martha Stewart collection.  Best thing is even with all those layers it fit nicely in a 6 1/2 inch square envelope.
