Chicken

I punched out this Penny Black chicken for my LIM card but he was too big so I used him here instead on the Thank you card for my Parents in law who are holding a big family party next week to celebrate their 50th anniversary.  I coloured him with Promarkers doodled/stiched the circle, stickles, glossy accents, card candy, paper is Papermania, the sentiment is a font called 'Stitch Bitch' !  I would like to enter it for:  Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Stitch it Up, I used the sketch from Card positioning systems, Truly scrumptious #60 things with wings

I didn't get a card made for last weeks Less is More Challenge as our poor Dog Toby who my lovely followers and visitors may remember has been limping for a while was finally diagnosed with Hip dysplasia and canine arthritis on Friday.  We first took him to the vet when he was 6 months old becuse we were concerned. I came home with some MEGA expensive drugs and have been trying to get him stabalised and comfortable so havn't had much craft time as I'm also getting ready for another week in England.  Thank goodness we have house sitters as we could not put Toby in the kennels. I did think a spot of stamping and colouring in might cheer me up today so after hoovering the spiders out of the spare room I sat down and managed the card above inspired by my feathered friend below and a couple of other unfinished bits.  I would like to enter Less is More: Week 21 Sketch , MAWTT 104-clean-and-simple, Ladybugs crafts - Christmas in June, Clear it out - keeping it simple,
Pile it on - Going round in circles

I used: Penny Black stamps, Promarkers, cricut, papermania cardstock, embossing board, black stickles, glossy accents on the wine glasses.

Hey ho, I'm off to collect the eggs and feed the chickens and Fleur the sheep/lawn mower we are pet sitting for this week while our neighbours are away. Chickens will be my next compulsion... :-)

Here is my card for the Less is More Challenge  week 15 One Layer Card EMBOSSING heat or dry ....  AND Challenge 7 'Sparkle' at Little Clair,  Crafty hazelnuts christmas challenge -20-dont-get-stressed,
Cute card thursday.#164-its-so-distressing
I just HAD to use this great new digi from Little Claire 'We Three Cats' I had e-mailed them earlier  in the week and asked for more digi's and Volia lots more were added!  I coloured it with Promarkers, stickles glitter glue in Frosted Lace and Silver, I embossed the star stamps (I think Personal Impressions) and heat embossed with silver WOW embossing powder then I tried using a bit of Distress ink, faded jeans that I put on with a sponge brush meant for glue... I'm not sure if destressing is really my style but its great to have a play! The sentiment is Fontdinerdotcom 'Sparkly'. This was done in a bit of a rush and some of the stars didn't stamp that well as my embossing ink is a bit dry.. I'm supposed to be packing as I'm off to England THIS AFTERNOON for a week to see my lovely daughters, sisters, Mum.. Can't wait! I just need to find some craft shops or stores with card making supply departments in NW1, or central London to while away the 'spare' time!
