BRIGHT OR WHAT????

Hi there my blog buddies and followers - with a special hello and welcome to my new followers.  Thank you so much for reading my blog, I love the fact that you pop by to check out the warblings of a weak and feeble woman - OK that really is OTT but it sounds poetic.

I am posting my new DT card for Lady Anne's Challenge - Stamp Anything Goes No 7.  We were given the digi images by Stamp N Doodle as they are sponsoring us this time.   I had some really bright papers and thought they would look nice with the image.   I think this is probably the first time I have truly picked out the paper before I did the colouring - yay!! Anyway here is my card

Did I mention this was bright??  Must admit though, I am quite pleased with the result because you know I am always bemoaning (is that a word) the fact that I don't use orange!   I hope you have a go at the Challenge - here is a link to it http://www.ladyanneschallenges.com/3/post/2013/03/7th-stamp-challenge1.html.   You can enter two creations but there is a limit of five challenges that you can enter including this one.  There were some gorgeous cards last time and I am sure there will be again.

As for my card, well you can see that I used faux stitching (once pronounced 'forks' by one tv craft presenter - oops) around the edge, with a few screw top brads and a bit of chicken wire (well it's a diecut piece actually).  I even trawled through the cupboard to find some Card Candi for the corners!  No holds barred eh???

PS - Graham bought me a gorgeous Bailey's choccy Easter Egg - I can confirm that it tasted as good as it looked - yup it has been demolished!!  He still has his though - but seeing as he isn't at work for another four weeks, there's no chance I will be able to pinch a bit.    I can hear you all going "Poor old Graham, not only does she cause his stubby toes but she tries to half-inch his choccy egg!"    AS IF!!!

 

I am doing a quick edit to my post in order to enter some Challenges - I actually won a couple when I first started but nothing since -lol!!!  I still love entering though - 'cos everyone loves a trier - allegedly.  Guffawing wildly now!
