Here Comes the sun (fingers crossed)

Hi all I'm back as promised with my card 

for this weeks Papertake Weekly

Challenge.

This week's theme is 

HERE COMES THE SUN

Which is sponsored by the Ribbon Girl.

I don't know whether this theme will jinx things 

especially as Wimbledon has just started,

they got rained off yesterday and it has been cloudy

and dull all day here, but fingers crossed the sun

will arrive soon. Pleeeeeez! 

Not to sure whether i like this card or not, i 

think it's because there's no flowers or ribbons on it. 

Shaped the card on my rotary cutter

with the wave shape.

I have used one of Sheena's rubber stamps

i think this one is just the two of us.

Coloured with polychromos pencils and i added

glitter glue to the girls costume.

Made a beach scene with some Raspberry

Road digi papers on the computer.

The sentiment is from LOTV.

Shells off the beach at the end of the road,

had fun looking for tiny ones to go on the card.

Oooh!  Oooh!

just had a thought i should have stamped

the sentiment onto yellow card

it would have looked like the sun.

Gurrr! To late now.

Never mind.

 Also thought i would share with you these piccies
i have taken of my fuchsia's,
they are one of my favourite flowers.
This first one is a Standard that i grew myself 
from a cutting, This is it's third flowering year and 
it's not let me down this is the best it's ever been.

The rest i have bought this year to go in 
my hanging baskets and pots.
They are just coming out and looking beautiful.

i really love the ones dressed in their costumes.

 You will all be shocked, i have actually got my

I love the grey selection in the promarkers better

than copics, don't know why I'm strange like that.

Anniversary Wishes

Hi all hope you are well, I'm still coughing like 

a trooper, just can't seem to shift it.

Anyway, we have just celebrated our 

18th wedding anniversary 

on Sunday, I'll tell you it certainly

doesn't feel like 18 years, more like 10,

where has the time gone and if you find

it please sent it back! Pleeeez.

I mentioned our anniversary to tie in nicely

with my card and this weeks 

Papertake weekly Challenge
 

It's Anything Goes week

sponsored by LOTV

with the option of using an all white

card with the choice of one other colour

excluding hair/skin colours.

Killing two birds with one stone i

made this for my husband.

When i first saw this stamp from LOTV

i wanted to use it for an anniversary card, i thought 

it was perfect, although unfortunately we can't

share a bath, Marks 6 foot 7 and there's just

no room left for me (we have tried). LOL.

Anyway back to the card 

I had just got some digi papers from Raspberry Rd

and this was in the set so that's

were the blue came in.

I used my wonky rectangles from spellbinders

and embossed one using a mica mask.

I have used Polychromos pencils and 

glitter for the bubbles.

Inked with Faded Jeans distress ink.

The sentiment is computer generated.

Ribbon is seam binding from the ribbon girl

TeddyTastic

Hi all sorry I've not been about but this cold 

has really been a bad one, I'm starting to feel better,

today i managed to go for a walk along the beach

with my daughter and her friend.

Here is my card for the
Teddy Bo Challenge

The challenge this fortnight is to make

a shaped card.

No squares or rectangles.

 

I have made a diamond shape springy card,

these were popular a few years ago.

I have only made a couple of these before,

they take some making.


 

It all started when i couldn't decide which 

Teddy Bo image to use, so i thought I'd use a few.

This was the only shape i could think of that
would take a few images, which turned into 5.

I have used my Polychromos pencils on 

Bristol Board and blended with sansodor.

The papers are from Raspberry Road, i have 

cut the flowers off the papers and made them

into photo corners.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid and the 

ribbon i pick up from Wigan Market.

I have used Nestie circle dies and 

Marianne creatables swirls.

Thanks for stopping by today
