Hello All,Well, I am finally here with a card, when Kezia first came home although she took up a lot of time, she would sleep for periods of 4-6 hours, however that very quickly changed !!!!! I started this card, and it took me 2 days just to get it coloured and cut out!! eventually after 4 days, of just giving it 10 min here and there I finally got it done! ...... I think all these topper kits that I keep obsessively buying and never using, my finally get an airing out of necessity!! LOL!!
Card Blank - Kanban
Image - Saturated Canary
Colouring Medium - Copics
Inks - Distress - spun sugar & antique linen
Papers - Prima - Pixie Glen
P.S the lace was from a pair of pj's that I bought, and then altered because they didn't fit properly! (the pj's had never been worn) , its great I have never had lace available to put on a card, so I enjoyed using it here!
This is my entry for:
Party Time Tuesday - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Crafty Catz - Use a Digi image
Fussy and Fancy - anything but, square/rectangle
Fairy Tale - Anything Goes
Saturday Challenge - shaped card
Thanks for looking
Hugs Juls
Nice to see you are getting a little crafting done Julia, even it is is sporadic.
ReplyDeleteAnd what fabulous recycling with the lace, I rib off buttons from old clothes but never though about going further.

Gorgeous card Juls. May have taken a wee while but well worth it. Great recycling, I always cut off bits of ribbon and buttons!
ReplyDeleteI think babies lull you into a false sense of security at first before they "get their horns out!" My eldest just slept so much I would have been really miffed if the girls hadn't slept as well as him.
As people often say when the baby sleeps, sleep or have some me time (or craft).

Babies fairly eat into your crafting time! I hope you are enjoying motherhood...lack of sleep is statutory I'm afraid. Love this card and great way to use the lace. I really must pop to the SC site as I'm loving all these images, I just don't seem to find the time to play!
