Just keeping my hand in...

Hello blogland,

Keeping my hand in both in respect of blogging and colouring! I feel a bit like I've neglected both recently. Hoping to find some time to myself to colour soon, and then get back into blogging regularly.

Still on summer holidays here, got a trip to Lincoln on Tuesday, nothing else planned for a few days after though, so maybe will find time in the next week or so.  Starting to count down to GCSE day -  11 days and counting! Then final decisions on if it's 6th Form at TTTs' Grammar or another route.

So card - this one was going to have been for an ADU challenge, but it didn't work out.  Mostly because I accidentally used a retired image! Not so good when you're trying to encourage people to join in a challenge, eh!

So sharing it now for no reason other than fun!


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
All Dressed Up - So cool
coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:
taylored expressions - simple strips: friendship

Dies:
un-branded stitched rectangle
taylored expressions - simple strips: asymmetrical
Julie Hickey - You're a star die set

Paper:
Basic Grey - Hey, luscious

Anything else:
glitter
sequins

That's about it really, really looking forward to Summer happening at some point! Probably not going to be until September and school's back, now is it! :-)

See you soon,
Sarah

Challenges/s:

  1. Gorgeous card, beautiful colouring. Please keep your blog going, rumours are rife that Goole are just closing blogs that aren't used enough, don't know how true this is but its worrying. x

  9. Love this fun shaker card Sarah. The black and red combo looks fabulous on that lovely character. I seem to have been doing holiday cover since the beginning of June so summer has certainly passed me by. That said, the forecast is looking more promising next week when I am back to my normal two day week, so fingers crossed!! Thank you for bringing her along to AYLI xx
