Monochromatic magic at Crafty Cardmakers

Evening all! I'm early tonight as I dont think I'll be standing much longer! Had awful headache last night and I kept thinking it was because I was tired and if I get some sleep it will go away. Of course it doesnt and I had no sleep - The simple sloution would have been to get up and take some paracetamol but it was too cold lol! Serves me right!

Anyway onto Crafty Cardmakers DT and they would like to see Monochrome this fortnight. There is a fantastic prize on offer by Indigo Blue and also from Digi Doodle Shop so please do pop over to check them out.

For this I went nearly CAS, apart from the stamped letters and base, its as close to CAS that I generally go lol!

I've again used Ladybug Tilda and coloured with cool greys and added black diamond stickles to the base card, punched hearts and stamped letters on 1cm squares. If you haven't seen my tutorial on colouring in monotones then have a looksie here :)

A Maggie Valentines

Evening all! How you been today? No snow here boooo! Been scribbling and tidying today as Ethan has his girlfriend coming round for tea (they're nearly 5 ya know!) He's just so excited bless him! Its 11pm and I just decided to clean my desk as when it gets *too* bad it irritates me so now I have everything off my desk on the flor behind me - so much for tidying up! Oh well as I would say to my OH - Chaos Theory! It will all come right and look tider than ever tomorrow ;)

Got a maggie valentines to show you tonight, I love this little image which is Ladybug Tilda from maybe a couple of years back but she's so cute :) I went with a pink and grey theme to match the papers which are Tim Holtz and added some torn paper and stamped the word love and distressed the edges of the paper and image with pumice stone distress ink and also dyed a couple of the flowers with victorian velvet distress ink.
The swirly boingy things I think I saw these the other day in a packet with Magnolia on, well mine are from the works, well actually carols crafts which sell a lot of the embellishents the works sell ;)

Anyway thanks for stopping by, I' off to tidy up some more as it really is a mess lol!
