Yes folks....I'm back again and lordy am I having a crap day....but will explain later.....a challenge card first.The challenge this week on Papertake Weekly is a fabulous sketch from my lovely bloggy bud...the one and only Dawny P and can I just say before we go any further......big apologies sweetie for playing a bit fast and loose with your sketch......
I started the card last night and all was going according to plan.......but decided to call it a night....and go and watch "The Apprentice"....but that was a total disappointment....don't know about you....but nobody stands out this year.....they are all a load of plonkers as far as I can see....and the day I am having today....I am well qualified to join that motley crew.
So on with the card......
Ok I am quite pleased with how it turned out in the end.....but you wouldn't believe how many times this card has been rehashed.
Background created with Botanical Stamps from Craftwork Cards
and Tim Holtz Distressed Ink.....Aged Mahogany
Image: Elisabeth Bell....Daisy
which was in my lovely goodies folder from Dawny
....coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Inks
Flowers: Prima
Craftwork Cards.....Card Candy
Gems and lace from my stash
Sentiment: American Craft Stickers
I am no expert at colouring.....so apologies to all those fabulous colour work experts out there especially my lovely bloggy bud Kim P...who is just the bees knees when it comes to colouring with distress inks...I fear I need some lessons Kim.
Now onto the saga of my day so far........well normally I am up about 6.00-6.30.....yes a real up with the birdies gal......cup of coffee.....showered.....dressed....another coffee and then "The Budster and I" off for our walk......home for breakfast and then a quick dust and hoover around ....all before 9.00 am....well today what time did I waken....8.30am and with a horrendous crick in my neck...OMG....what was I doing in bed last night and before any of you have visions of some erotic goings on......put that completely out of your mind.....so I am now working hours and hours behind.......and just to make matters worse......NO SNEAKY PEEK today......ain't happy with my DT stuff this week......so it looks like they are going to end up in the crafty bin and it's now a mad dash to come up with something else.....who says CRAFTING is a piece of cake.......catch up with you all tomorrow.....Hugs Kath xxxxxxx
