Another clean and simple card for me using this gorgeous little chap.
Miles in Winter from Mo’s Digital Pencil
Coloured with Copic markers and Chalk pencils
He’s such a darling isn’t he?
Later this week I have something special to give away, I just need to do the write up for it but believe me you’ll need it, it’s amazing.
I’ve really struggled to make a card this last week or so, you get times like that don’t you? life gets so busy and on top of the hustle and bustle of life we nearly have Christmas upon us.
I was lucky enough to get the cold that has been doing it’s round and I still have the hacking cough to prove it, you know the type, the one that waits until you have warmed up in bed then starts until you are so hot and bothered from coughing that you fling the blankets off only to freeze your nads off later. Hey Ho.
So I needed something to ease me back into colouring and this ticked all of the boxes.
Galleon from Just Inklined it is a pencil lined digital stamp and the beauty of this is that the shading in the stamp helps immensely when colouring, it makes it so easy to colour.
I coloured this one with Copic markers as I only have a limited palette in Graph’It although I will add more to my range because I love them.
I used chalk pencils to create the sky.
Clean and simple style with a little bit of designer paper and a button and hemp cord.
I had to find something for our Grandson Jack as his place setting and it had to be fun and something that he could relate to.
I found this Gift Bag template and thought “ that should do it very nicely thank you”.
I know I only needed one for Jack but as his Mam runs an area for slimming would and has gifts to give to team leaders the rest will come in very handy for her.
Super fun and easy to make on the Silhouette Portrait and I found the template on the silhouette site, it was one of Lori Whitlock’s templates.
Filled with a few treats and a mini transformer car for when Jack has finished his dinner makes it perfect to get him to tuck into his dinner just to get the prize and the end of it.
We had to pop into Durham yesterday and decided to come home the back roads, we often do this road purely as it is scenic, I often wish we had stopped to take pictures but for anyone in the knowing of the Finchale Abby road they will also know that it isn’t for the faint hearted, often barely wide enough for one vehicle let alone having to be side by side with another coming in the opposite direction.
Yesterday was no different, there is a layby to pull in but it was full of cars, mostly ramblers and walkers so I had to make do with my phone camera through the windscreen but….. I think it shows some of Natures Beauty before the leaves are no more.
I think Autumn is such a beautiful season don't you?
So I needed another three place settings, I figured that these would be my next two.
Christmas Chapel Boxes from SVG Cuts I wanted these to be dainty and pretty and I think that I have achieved that.
Pearls are from Mei Flower I think they have the best value for money in pearls and gems.
All of the trim came from my local haberdashery and the papers came from Stampin Up.
Now I need to find something fun for Jack as all of the adults are now sorted.
