Green is the colour

Hello blog friends,  happy Friday, also Happy St Patricks Day

Its one of those weird winter/spring days today the sky at the back 

of the house says on thing whilst the front says another.

Whilst the weather is making up its mind, I will get on with my post lol.

There is a new challenge over at Crafty Catz this week our challenge is

always anything goes, but we add a twist for a little inspiration 

just incase your mojo is sparse.

Our Twist was chosen by the Lovely Chris and she chose 

Use lots of Green 

We have an amazing sponsor this week and one lucky winner

will get to choose two images from Leann's World 101.

 The lovely Leann gave us some images to share some inspiration with you.

I used the cute Fawns Friends I coloured her with copics and 

drew in the background copse of trees

It been a good 25 years we have had our ups and downs but 

I think thats par for the course. He a very supportive husband 

especially  when it comes to my crafting habit,  be it card making or sewing.

Now on with the cards ........lol

The cards I'm sharing today are two naughty card lol, 

they are from MFT new release..... ahem ....so I'm not doing so good

not buying more crafty lushness,

 although the papers on the sketch card were from my scrap. 

I swear if they would stop bringing out such cute stamps,

 I wouldn't be adding to my stash lol 

The first card I'm sharing is for the MFT Sketch challenge  Wk 636

This is my take on the sketch

My second card I have entered in the the MFT Colour Challenge 207

Beyond Blue, Something Blue, Princess Pink and Cement Grey

This is my take on the colour challenge

The stamps I used are from the New release and they are 

YUZU's Presents and Pupcakes and Stacy Yacula's Unforgettable Birthday

Unfortunately I  could not but the matching dies for both sets.

Add a little spring .....

Good morning friends, I hope that life has been kind and that you

this past week and that you are feeling good and up for

another fun challenge over at Crafty Catz Challenge

this weeks anything goes with a twist is Spring , so get your mojo 

on the flow and join us. it doesn't  have to be Spring in the conventional

way, you could add a wobbler to your card you could use a 

motor bike or mountain bike they have springs on the front forks.

 I didn't really do conventional spring as coloured the Chrysanthemum  

with Zig watercolour pens and it came out a little brighter then

i would have liked, although my cousin loved it I made especially

for her and tried to do something different with the frame.

The Chrysanthemum Large Slimline flower stamp and die are from Pink Fresh Studio 

and the glitter card is from my stash its the no shed glitter card.

I have entered this into the following fun challenges

Stamping Sensations Challenge: # March Anything Stamped with the Option Wings / Tails

The Corrosive Challenge: # 3Anything Goes

Happy Little Stampers Challenge :  # Anything Goes with dies

Have a wonderful weekend my friends

Much Love

Bridget
