Another For The Books

 Hi again, I’m sharing another from For The Books set (SU)

Along with a Lavinia cat stamp called Mimsy.



This time I made a pocket on the front for the bookmark.
You can see the ribbon attached, poking out above on the right.




I left the card front black and white, but coloured the bookmark.
I also decorated the inside and the envelope.


I’m entering the Allsorts Challenge #814

“matching pairs”

Take care and see you soon

Autumn Hare

 Hi there

I'm having a go at entering the Allsorts Challenge

where the theme is: Anything Autumn


I'm using a never-before-used stamp kindly given to me by a friend
so I'm also entering the NBUS challenge

The tree doesn't have a top.........it certainly wasn't me who chopped it off!....
....it comes with roots instead, which I found challenging.......

So, I stamped the tree and the hare......so far so good.....
stamped falling leaves  that I'd inked with different coloured marker pens.

Then I hunted for some little leaf-looking stamps.....tried a few and thought nah,
so ended up using the marker pens to make dots all over the ground.




Looked a bit messy by then, so I gently went over with wink of stella......hmmm

Then there's the "hollow" in the tree....should I?....eventually wimped out by gently winking the brown ink to fill in the white space.........I'm tempted to colour it with pencils?..............advice gratefully received.....!!

Don't look too close, it is a bit messy......I
 like the idea, not sure about my execution!

I think the hare is looking up at whatever disturbed the branches,
and there must be fairies living in the glittery fairy dusted hollow....
in my world anyway :)



I made a square card blank, and added a couple of coordinating cardstock layers.



Take care

Hoppy Easter!

Have a Happy Day........ 


Ink blending with a stencil, some light meadow stamping,
with a "Friend Like You", and a pair of happy hares.... 


using my Stamparatus to get a good dark brown,
and to stamp the sentiment without spoiling it all!


A sunny bike ride yesterday, cold and windy today.....yay a craft day!


Stay warm and safe
Lesley
