Good morning! Well, I'm here with a post and it's all down to my lovely pal and Sweet Stampin' Teamie/Boss Abi! Abi, who is a bit of a whizz when it comes to computers, came to my rescue late last night as I haven't been able to upload any of my photos to Blogger. I have no idea why this is, what has caused this or indeed, how to fix it. If any of you lovely Bloggers know what I can do, please could you let me know?
Anyway, we have a new challenge today at Sweet Stampin'. This week our theme is Weddings and Anniversaries, so now is your chance to use those neglected stamps that maybe only get an airing round about Valentines Day!
Being the miserable old so and so that I am, I have very little in my stamp collection that is vaguely romantic! However, I like this Lili of the Valley image, mostly because it's cute but also because it's a decent size - sometimes I find their images too small to colour with anything other than Copics. I masked this image with a Magnolia background stamp and painted the lot using my Distress Markers and some inks. The DP is from a Tilda pad; it doesn't show up too well in the photo but there are a couple of different papers layered up and I cut out some Cheery Lynn butterflies and some Doohickey swirls and a tag from another contrasting design from the same pad. The doilies are from Joanna Sheen and the flowers and pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I do hope you can join us over at Sweet Stampin' this week. The Team Abi Sweeties have made some gorgeous DT creations to inspire you and as always, there is the chance to be in our Spotlight and to enter our weekly and monthly prize draws. This week's sponsor is Whimsy Stamps who are giving away 5 digis and the lovely Joanna Sheen continues to provide our monthly draw winner with a £10 voucher for her online store.
Right - I'm off to give Blogger a kick up the bahookie!
Have a lovely day!
Hugs,
Tracey xx
