I added a little twine bow and a aster daisy to the top just to finish it all off.

I am quite proud of myself for keeping it fairly CAS!! go me!!!

Dies- Die- Namics Blueprints 3.

Morning peeps!!

How are you all this gorgeous monday morning? great I hope. I am still at work but I am sure it is a gorgeous day all the same! he he he he!! I will be home around 7:10am for a huge mug of espresso to keep me going for the school run and then its head to the pillow for the day when I get back!

Onto my gorgeous make for today! I do love this card, thinking of sending it to myself!!! lol!!! 

I am pretty lucky because my weekend always starts with my make for my blog post here on a monday and I always totally enjoy that make. I kick back, pop spotify on and just make away whilst my little guy pootles around enjoying his saturday morning! its fab. We are early risers so then we have all day to chill and play together, I love it!!

And lets be honest if you have an awesome set of Die-Namics Blueprints 3 and a pile of stroke only, use if you must Pion papers it makes card making super easy! there are so many awesome combo's it can get on your card base for you. I adore scruffing up edges and layering, it just makes it feel all homey and cute! I was lazy this weekend and crafted at the table in our lounge so it was scissor scuffing instead of my Distrezz it all tool but the edges still look scrummy and I do so love a layered up torny bit, I think they look so neat. My friend Chris taught me how to do that a few years ago at a demo and I always think of her when I do one of these. I added a little cotton twine bow to this one.

I am popping her over on the challenge on DP2 which is lots of layers.

Right enough Lou waffles boring you over your breakfasts!!!

Thanks for popping in

It was very much a case of grab some papers from my stroke only pile, grab a Blueprints set with a bow die on it so I can play along with the challenge over at Papertake Weekly which is Bow Dies and just splodge it all on!! yey!!!! super fun!!

I coloured her up last week with my promarkers and a touch of sparkle, she's just adorable. You can just about make out some of the sparkle on her wings, flower in her hair and dress on this picture below, I am not sure I will ever master the showing of the sparkliness when taking bloggy pictures!!!

I added a whole tonne of little punched flowers too...I told you I was in a splodge it all on kinda mood!!! but to be honest the Dienamics Blue prints 3 set makes such a beautiful base and I really loved adding some teensy blooms to it for her to hide in!

Right, after being blurgh poorly yesterday my tummy is rumbling away for some lunch today so I am off to feed it!! Thank you so much for popping in on me

Here is a bit more of a blingy shot to show the sparklies I added with my clear star sakura pen. She has a beautiful shimmer around her and on the flowers,fence and tree's too..

I am still practising the just a hint of colour on clothing and I love how gentle this came out, love my blender pen!!! he he he he! I went for colouring my grass and tree's with a tonne of dots, all greens and browns dotted in together.

I wanted the fence to pop out from the card so I attached it with my tiny attacher. The gauze is from my crafty stash.

 ...and here's a liey down oooh look at the pop picture!! he he he he!!!

She really is a sweetheart.
