Crafting on a wet Saturday afternoon

As predicted the weather here has been awful, cold and raining all day long. I coloured these images last night and after a morning's housework spent the afternoon cardmaking. This is another of my WOJ stamps I bought at the Ally Pally show. I layered her onto a Nellie cut oval, embossed with daisy Cuttlebug folder which I finished off with pink shimmer chalk. Roses are Wild Orchid. The lovely sketch is from Whiff of Joy, Everybody Art want pastel colours and Oh Baby is the challenge at Quxotic.


The second card uses a Friday freebie from Pollycraft for their challenge here comes the sun. Paper is K&Co, pearls from the Hobby House. Kaboodle are celebrating Spring and the fab sketch is from Moving along with the times.

Lastly but certainly not least is another Pollycraft image sold in aid of Air Ambulance. The main paper is from a Christmas pack of DCWV which matched the chair beautifully.
Challenges:
Papertake Dawny P's great sketch
Paper Sundaes Red, yellow and green

hiya
pleased to hear that the weather is being generous and wet all over the UK and not just on my patch. Love the Nellie oval, I got the square one and a few others on my Hobby House trip, the others are really bright and just what we need to cheer us up.

oh and if you live around the corner from the Hobby House, like me your crafting time would be very limited due to the amount of time you spend in there.

Hugs Kate xx
