Project of the Month Blog Hop - Precipitation Inspiration

This is the 2nd of the Monthly Project Blog Hops for Mo's Dream Team

We will hold this every third Thursday of the month , we aim to give you a little inspiration and hopefully a few Oooo's and Awe's along the way, The Dream Team is made up with some of the most talented ladies so be sure to give them all a visit.

The Theme for this month was from Mel McCarthy and is Precipitation Inspiration

I decided straight away that Duck Day would be my Image

I made a penny slide card and drew a cloud and lightening flash to stick on top of the penny slide this slides all the way around the circle.

This image shows how I used Foam pads to lift the front circle and front aperture from the base card, this was so the penny slide could move freely around the card.

Ewe'l Log & Blog Candy

Just a bit of fun as a Stocking Filler for Christmas

The gold roll is a 12 x 12 scrapbook paper cut in half then rolled into a cylinder and glued in place. the Ewe is made with a flower punch for hair and feet a tear drop punch for ears or a heart cut in half would do, the face is the Stampin Up Oval cut in half and the body is a Nestabilities circle, googly eyes and black cord for the legs.

This is what is inside my Ewe'l Log.

Linen Tea Towels from All Tea Towels did I mention I love these, they remind me of home when I was young.

Form-Ewe-La-One, I got a few of these in the hopes that Chris will help with the washing up as he is an avid fan.

This one just cracks me up, check out those cuties hanging on the washing line.

Al over at All Tea towels has given me 5 Tea Towels to give away (Ooooo Stocking Fillers)

All you have to do is head over there find your favourite design and come back and tell me which one it is.

I will then draw 5 people via Random Generator on Wednesday 25th November to receive their favourite.

Charlotte Beauty

I used a brayer inked with pale plum ink onto the Victorian A2 embossing folder by Cuttlebug before embossing the card, then using the same ink I stamped the penny Black footnote stamp at the bottom of the card.

The Image stamp Charlotte was inked with Perfect Plum ink then I used a Koi Brush to draw the colour into the image.

recipe:~

Stamp: Charlotte by Stamp It, Penny Black Stamp, Footnote

Tools: spiral punch by Stampin Up, Embossing Folder Victorian by Cuttlebug, koi watercolour brush

Inks: Perfect Plum & Pale Plum both by Stampin Up

Attention to detail...

The ribbon was a find I made in a local haberdashery, it is kind of weird, it is and open weave lace cotton and is very soft to the touch.
