WOYWW :-)



I love Julia's WOYWW :-) It gives us all the chance to have a good ol' snoop around fellow crafters desks ,,,, mine is ALWAYS a mess and I am giving up making apologies ,,, this is me, take me as ya find me :-)
I often see goodies that I then HAVE to have !! take the ATG tape gun ,, I saw that on a crafty desk and I just HAD to have one !! gone are the days where my cards fall to bits cos of the only DSST that was available here ,,, and wasn't sticky AT ALL !! I am now wondering if I should have got the 1/2 inch wide one after seeing it on Julia's desk !!!
what else is going on here ,,,, ooh a stamped image getting ready for colouring ,,, can't tell you what thats for yet ,,,, my huge cuppa T, some Hero Arts ticket stamps ,, some unmounted HM stamps ,,, Copics ,,, ooh my fab spinning thing that holds TH ink applicators ,,, I live in a mess eh !!!

Before I go here is a piccy of our lovely girl Jessie snuggling up on the sofa with Phoebe kitten :-) awww :-)



Ok coming for a snoop around your place now :-) ,,, pop the kettle on !!

Now for my card ,,,,,,



I must admit I do especially love the Whiff Of Joy Gnomes by Norma Fickel and saw that some new ones are about to be released ,,, so keep an extra close eye on the All New Just In category !! For my card I used the Mr and Mrs Foxglove stamp ,,,, I always think of these as an older and younger sister tho !! I coloured the image with a mix of Copics and Prismacolor pencils and inked around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The papers are from the Basic Grey Capella pack and I used my Cricut to cut the big circle ( I need to plug it in more often !! ) The flowers are Lilliput Roses from Prima ( gorgeous ) ,, I sprayed them with my Copic air brush ,,, LOVE IT !! :-) I used loads of Platinum and Star Dust Stickles for sparkle and a ribbon and a leaf charm to finish ,,,, :-)
