I am a working mum of three very untidy children. Although not sure if 18 still qualifies as a child? but then again from their actions its a yes! I really enjoy most crafts and tend to be enthusiastic but not always competent!!

Dilly's Doodling

Crafting from a garage in the Cotswolds...

A quick & early morning post before I have to leave for work. After feeling a bit down last night I had a look over at http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ and was inspired to have a go at their circle card challenge. It was a challenge for me as I only have the small set of circle nestabilities so I had to improvise. This involved drawing around my cereal bowl on the green papermania paper and on white card stock I used the top of my biscuit tin. Then had to cut out freehand (since when did I start to shake????). The hedgehog was an image I had been sent and I coloured in using promarkers Ruby & Meadow Green flowers, Satin, Pastel Pink & Blush on the body.

I coloured in my white raffia with black promarker (yes the fingers do still look a little grey!) and die cut the hearts from a sizzx die. I made the flower again by colouring in some white ribbon and gathered together with large running stitches. Heart chart was from a magazine my daughter had ( she hasn't noticed.........yet!). I'm not too sure about the hearts and feel they should have been distressed or outlined as they look too new!!

Please let me know what you would have done.
Happy first day of the week!

Hi Dilly thanks for your lovely comment. I bought the Leone Em Ash Branch punch at The Glitter Pot.
Love your card - it's stunning!. I like your hearts as they are but what I do is edge one with ink and see what it look like - I don't do 'em all in case I don't like (frequently don't lol).

What can I say? This is just super!
I love the way that it is simply bristling with hearts... a positive bouquet of them.
Wonderful!
