GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #GDP018

Where have I been you might ask?

Well last weekend it was my birthday and I bought three chickens to add to my two. One of mine is no longer laying so I needed to increase my egg supply!!

In the past chicken introductions have not gone well at all but this time it has been so easy!

The new ones are settling in very nicely - yay!!

Onto my card:

I have followed the sketch at:

and used Stampin' Up! Easter Lamb stamp:

I masked off the sentiment and then coloured the gorgeous image with my Blender Pen and various inks. The backing paper is the Subtles DSP  and the sentiment is from A Dozen Thoughts.

As I used some snippets of Soft Sky card stock I will enter:
PIXIE'S SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND
and over at AS YOU LIKE IT CHALLENGE they are asking 'favourite paper or non paper project'. Mine is most definitely paper as I am not good at knitting (my tension is too tight!). But I have just bought a sewing project and will show it when I have finished it!

Thanks for visiting me today and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Good afternoon and welcome to my blog.

I hope that you have had a wonderful Christmas.

Sadly since I was unwell with Tonsillitis my craft mojo decided to take a little break. But yesterday I had a little play with my new Stampin' Up! pre-order and made this card:

The inspiration for my card was from:

where the challenge is to CASE the designer (Bibi Cameron). I used the circular element and blue colour tones.

The stamp set that I used is called 'Helping Me Grow' which is in the new Spring/Summer catalogue and will be available January 5th. If you would like a FREE copy just send me an email HERE and I will pop one in the post for you.

My flowers are stamped with Basic Grey Archival ink pad and then coloured with my Blender Pen and Soft Sky/Pear Pizzazz ink pads. The backing paper is from the Subtles DSP. I finished off with a lick of a Wink Of Stella pen.

I would also like to enter ALLSORTS CHALLENGE BLOG where the theme is 'Anything but Christmas' and as I used some snippets of Soft Sky card stock I will also enter Pixies Snippets Playground. Miss Di is having a huge celebration as it is four years since she took over the playground. There are lots of fabulous prizes to win so I would get all of your snippets out and enter  the fun over there!

I am just deciding whether to get the hoover out or make another card Mmmmmm!

Yes - the card wins!!!

Hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
