Gone Fishing …

 

mmmm, now this picture (taken by the Rubbah Elf I hasten to add) just does not do justice to how shiney the embossed circles are, or how beautifully irridescent the fish are in real life….. it’s all really 3-d, but again it most definitely has not come through – this is destined for a Birthday Boy tomorrow, so I am not sure if I can bet a better shot, but will give it a go.

Hippity hopping around is much better, but I am still in loads of pain – this bit of crafting has made me feel way better though.

EDITED TO ADD: Nope try as I might I can’t capture just how this shines in reality – soz about that.

Copics Colour Challenge – #8

as Toodles and Binks are now going to be sponsoring the challenge on a regular basis, and this week was our first week, I just had to take part, as for the last two weeks I’ve got as far as actually colouring in something, and then not having time to come through!

I decided I would use Chickadee (RRP-010), and make a small Easter Card for the Inlaws.

I used my large shaped label nestie as the basis for the card (but just staying short of the top, so you end up with a folded card) and then cut out the same shape again in pattern paper and lined it up just at the bottom.  I will try and do a quick tutorial of that in the week if I can.

Adam … you’re so tweet (RRP-007)

I need to use this stamp, but had to come up with some kind of festive twist with it.

Ingredients

• Stamp:  Adam .. you’re so tweet by Toodles & Binks (RRP-007)
• Limeade Sugarcoated cardstock
• Red & Green Prsim Cardstock
• SU Whispers White cardstock
• COPIC Markers (see my COPIC page for the list of colours I have)
• Cuttlebug Machine
• Wizard Tag Dies
• Cuttlebug Circles Embossing Folder
• Lime Green Chalk Ink
• Gingerbread Brilliance Dew Drop Ink
• Momento Dye Ink in Tuxedo Black
• Quikutz machine
• Quikutz Snowflake and small circle dies
• Glossy Accents
• Pearlidoodles
• Janome Mini Sewing machine with green thread

Actually, I’ve moved things on again since taking this, and have made a rectangular box to place a goat in (yes, a goat ….. well, a cyber goat anyway from Oxfam) – I thought I’d put a little label that says “care:  contents contain nuts” on it too.  I am currently in the process of cutting out a massive amount of Limeade Snowflakes and circle middles to go all around the edge.  As well as the cyber goat there will be an Adam stamp (mounted on kling) and some liquer choccies.

 

Simone (RRP-003) Pizza Box Project

 

I am working on a detailed project sheet for this, and will post it on the Toodles & Binks blog later on today, but thought I’d share in the meanwhile.
