BIRD- One Word Prompt( Jolly Crafty Christmas 2024) DCM

 Hello everyone!

Its been a while since I've posted anything on the blog. Life's been a little crazy lately, I feel like I'm always chasing time. I'm not a big fan of the winter months as it gets dark too quickly but I love the build up to the seasonal festivities and the holidays. I'm looking forward to nice cozy evenings spent with family.

Its time to welcome you to join in with our annual seasonal craft-along!

Jolly Crafty Christmas Time 2024

For the challenges leading up to Christmas we'll give you either a picture or a word prompt each week and then the rest is up to you! 
Anything Goes - you're free to make anything that takes your fancy that fits the theme.
Tags, Bags, Cards, Décor, Boxes... whatever you want to make.
Christmas themed or not - it's up to you  

Now it's time for the first ONE WORD PROMPT and the word of the week is

BIRD


My card features this cute little owl from Hobby Art. I knew this would be perfect for this weeks prompt. I have used christmas papers from an old First Edition paper pad that I've had in my stash for years.The colours are very traditional and went well with the colours I used to colour the stamped image. The word stamp is by Uniko stamps, look them up they have some amazing stamps too.

Furry Pet Friends - Daring Cardmakers Challenge

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

This weeks Daring Cardmakers Challenge is hosted by me and its all about our beloved pets. I remember having pets at my grandparents house, they had a cat and a parrot. My parents too had a cat for many years until one day it never came home. My dad was quite fond of this cat and decided he didn't want to keep another pet after Mano went missing. My kids have been pushing for pets since they were little but haven't had the green light from me yet. Perhaps one day I'll tell you all about a pet we decided to keep!

In the meantime lets look at this weeks challenge.

FURRY PET FRIENDS.

So this week I would love to see a card with your favourite pet if you have one or if would like to have one in the future.

Show us your two or four legged pets. Do you have more than one type of pet? Let’s celebrate our furry friends by adding photos to your cards too.


So for my card this week I decided to choose cats to be the main feature. I created a background using distress inks. The stamps used are by Art Inspirations called Cats Rule by Mr Barghest. Just love this stamp its cute and mischievous at the same time. All of the elements of the stamps are separate and give you more versatility in creating different scenes for your cards. I used the fish stamp to create a border which looks pretty cool don't you think?
