Alf Gardening - DigiStamp Boutique

Hello Everyone, 

Is anyone else having trouble with blogger? I have lost all of my reading list, so none of your blogs have been showing for at least a week. Also, my scheduled posts - haven't posted! 

My card making time is getting less and less...life just keeps getting in the way! I needed a card for my Dad's birthday and after spending ages looking for the right stamp, I remembered this fabulous image from DigiStamp Boutique. Unfortunately no longer available, I believe this is called Alf Gardening.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics. The background papers are from Craft Creations and Make and Create. I've used a Creative Expression winter tree die, which I've coloured with markers. The fence die is from La La Land Crafts. I've added a mushroom border die and a Hunkydory Moonstone plant pot die. I've added liquid pearls to the mushroom border and flower die. The sentiment was computer generated.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Stampendous - Fuchsia

Hello everyone, 
The cricket has slowed down a little now which means I've had a little bit of time in my craft room....which is a complete and utter bombsite and is in desperate need of thoroughly good tidy!
Anyway, I ignored the mess and made a card instead! I've used a lovely stamp from Stampendous called Cling Fuchsia CRR166.

I've coloured it with copics and promarkers, and added lots of liquid pearls to the stamens of the fushia. The background papers are from my box of scraps. I've used a Hunkydory Moonstone die scalloped ovals and a Hunkydory lattice fence die. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.
