Zentangle

Oh what a busy day today!
Alana and I met at Stamperama and I think it's fair to say that both of us spent a lot of money!
We had a lovely time though and it's great seeing all the things available and wishing I had a bottomless money pot!

Over on the Lots to Do challenge blag this week, the theme is zentangle. I have to admit that I've never made one before so this is my very first go.
I used a black pen for this but next time I think I need to use one with a much thinner nib. It was very therapeutic to do and think /i'll be having more goes!
This is done on an ATC blank and then double mounted on white and then black.
Hope you like it.

Fly away home

The challenge on Simon Says Stamp and Show is 'things with wings'. I've made an ATC for this one with a cosmic shimmer background, overstamped with a flower background.
I 'found' this die-cut butterfly in my odds n sods box. I have no idea where it came from but fits beautifully.
I've stuck her on using sticky pads so it stands out.

Hope you like it?

Time Flies

I told you yesterday that this months theme over on The Stampman is "time". Today I've made mine to send off. The background are cosmic shimmer sprays with a stamped clock face from Paperartsy. I then printed and cut out an old pocket watch image and just coloured it with a distress ink.

This was then stuck on using foam pads to give the card some depth.

Hope you like them.

Back from holiday!

So I'm back from my lovely holiday. We went down to Minehead again (we like it there) and lazed our time away. We had lazy days and late nights, swam lots, read lots, drunk lots (!!!) and ate lots. Diet starts now - hmph.
In my postbox when I got back were these 3 lovely ATC's. I told you about the ATC's that I sent in on a previous post, and these are the beautiful 3 that I received back. I'm really pleased with them.

Next months theme on The Stampman ATC swap is "time". I'll be entering and maybe you will too.
