Clean and Simple 2 - Day 1

Whew am I behind with me homework!!

This is a super quick post to show you my make for day 1 of the Clean and Simple Cardmaking 2 online class. I am loving this class btw!! I have never taken an online class before and I am really enjoying it!

 

So the topic was Craftmanship and our homework was to follow one of the given sketches.

 

I followed Kristina's sketch and must say I am quite pleased with the result!

 

Kristina used a stencil and a mist spray to create the background for her card so I gave it a go and used a stencil for the first time! Its very shimmery so I had trouble taking photographs but hopefully you can see a slight shimmer.

 

 

Close up of the sentiment and tiny silver heart gem.

 

 

The shimmer can be seen better here.

 No idea why it turned out all white! I certainly didn't intend it to be like this!

 

So there you have it! I have an 'attempt' for Day 2 but that will have to wait till later as I must go get ready for school!!

 

Hope you are all well.

 

Happy Crafting!!

I'm slowly working my way through the goodies I got at Christmas ( you can see the video HERE) and as there has been sun today, yes I did say sun not a swear word!, I decided to practise my colouring.

 

Very pleased with the hair which is what I need to work on the most.

 

 

I love TGF as I always have so much fun colouring them in and this 'Big Anya' was no exception!

Happy New Year!!

 

Starting a new job (Nursery eeek!) and loosing the internet has meant blogging has had to take a backseat.

However, I'm starting to get into a routine now with work and after spending a ridiculous amount of time on the phone and faffing on we have the internet back wooopa!

 

Anyways enough waffle, I made this card for the bfs Mams birthday.

I coloured this image over Christmas and discovered my new favourite combo of blue Flex/Promarkers!

 

 

I cant wait to try them out on a few more stamps lol! The combo I used was FM Celestial Blue, Duck Egg, Artic Blue and FM Glacier Blue.

 

This is very similar to the last card I made using this image but I don't care cos I LOVE IT and I haven't said that in ages about one of my cards!

 

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Passion for Promarkers - Favourite Colour Combo (cant fail with blue and white!)

I love Promarkers - Anything Goes

 

Well I'm taking part in the Clean and Simple 2 online class which starts next week so I'm sure Ill be back with some sort of effort :/ lol my CAS cards really need working on!

 

Hope you're all well!
