A Sunburst Thank You

Good morning!
It's a one layer challenge at Less Is More this week and Chrissie and Jen also have a theme of Thank You cards. So here is mine...


I woke up this morning with these two colours in my head, so I just went with it! 


After I lightly marked off the areas to colour, I used post-it notes as a mask then sponged Pistachio Pudding and Smoky Slate ink to create my first attempt at the 'sunburst' technique. I then scored a line and finished with the sentiment is from Express Yourself and a few gems.

I have work this weekend, how about you? Whatever you're doing, have a good one! :)

CASEd notebooks

Good morning all!
It's a frosty one here again! I think winter is well and truly upon us now!

When I went on the brilliant Pinkies craft reward day a few weeks ago, we had a swapping session, and this is the swap I got from the wonderful Michelle Last...


I loved this so much that when I was looking for some inspiration earlier this week for my notebooks, I decided to CASE it. So here are my takes on Michelle's stunning card...


I used Modern Medley DSP, Best of Butterflies, Swallowtail, Chalk Talk Bundle, and Labels Framelits to create my little collection of notebooks. What do you think? 

It's a quick one from me today as I am working, and I have lots of Christmas orders to finish!

Enjoy your Friday!

Shabby Chic shopping!

Hello all!
It is my turn to host this month's challenges at CAS - Colours and Sketches, and this week our first challenge is a colour challenge.


I was inspired by my chest of drawers that I rescued and gave a bit of love to!


These colours really make me think of shabby chic so that is what I went for in my project...


 I used an old doily from my stash and rubbed it with some Soft Suede. The Soft Sky Core'dinations cardstock was embossed with Pretty Print EF and rubbed with Soft Suede.


I used a matt of Designer Paper from the Neutrals stack and finished with some Soft Sky seam binding.

Supplies
Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Core'dinations
Designer Paper - Neutrals
Embossing - Pretty Print
Ribbon - Sof Sky seam binding
