Morning blogland
We are in the home straight of GCSE's at Chez Sarah now! TTT is in school today for two exams but she is also officially on 'study leave' which I don't remember being a thing from my days at school. Maybe it's such a long time ago I just can't remember! Basically 'study leave' means she only has to go in when there is an exam on. Not a problem - she says!
So for today she's in all day as she has English and French exams, but then she's in and out like a Jack-in-the-box! Half day here, not in there, full day other days - we've got her exam schedule up on the wall to keep track of who needs to be where to pick her up when for the next fortnight!
Phew, well after that little ramble, moving onto more interesting stuff - I made a card, which wasn't a DT inspiration! It was for an actual real person and was delivered yesterday.
not sure my photographic skills were good enough to pick up the sparkly dots I put on her dress - so here's her close-up.
Supplies used:
Digital stamp:
Mo's Digital Pencil -
Zeldacoloured with my Copics
Rubber stamp:
taylored expressions - 'It's your day'
Dies:
Creative Expressions - Noble Collection: Stitched Squares
Spellbinders - squares / scalloped square
Whimsy Stamps - OMG! word die set
un-branded alphabet set
Anything else:
Allsorts paper pad
mixed up beads/glitter/brads (for the shaker part of the card)
acetate
red card
Hopefully I'm going to be getting more time and inclination to be going into my craft room soon - I do feel like it's been mildly neglected for probably the last 6 months or so!
That's it from me folks,
Hope everyone is well,
Sarah
Challenge/s:
As You Like It Challenge - Favourite: Pastels or Brights. I think you might guess from this card (and a quick look back at previous cards) I go for Brights. Pastels are not really my thing, I do dabble occasionally, but I always return to Bright colours.
Awesome card, love the way you colored it. Sure to be a hit for a 16 year old! Thanks for sharing with us at Krafty Chicks!

ReplyDeleteWow! love everything about this Sarah, the design, shaker, image colouring -all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteNot long to go now before the exams are over- then time for the kids to relax, recharge their batteries and enjoy the summer before moving on to the next stage - I know my granddaughter has so many plans for the next few weeks- and she totally deserves to enjoy herself after all the hard work. I'm sure it's the same for TTT!
