another Easel card

As promised another easel card, this time one for the boys. I have used the t-shirt template from Craftwork Cards, the black and white stripes I sourced from the internet and then used the Newcastle image and scaled it down, the base paper is from Funky Hand Retro Fun. I apologise to all non- Newcastle fans but unfortunately my OH and boys are fans!!

All the things I love

Easel Card

I am really taken with the easel card having been inspired looking through Debbie Dolphins Blog
so here is a circular easel card made using pearlised card, Rubber Stamp Tapestry pegs and a braid from my stash. I used a compass to draw and cut out the circle.
I have another waiting in the wings!

Blog Challenges

Well I haven't done a blog challenge for sometime so I was hopping around others blog spots for inspiration and linked to a number of challenges. Here is my interpretation for 3 challenges

Sir Stampalot - Fantasy
By the Cute and Girly - Fairytales
Allsorts - Challenge 46 no DP





I have opted for an easel card. I have used Fairy and Toadstool from Dimension Fourth - using Black Memento, then coloured using Promarkers, the wings are filled using Sakura Gelly Roll Clear star; Matte and layered onto navy card then Aqua blue pearl card which matches the fairy skirt.

Cross stitch picture

I stitched this picture back in May 2002 from a chart in issue 33 of Cross Stitch Crazy, I started it on Easter Sunday and it was finished by the Tuesday. The chart was specially desined for CSC.
I chose to stitch this picture as it reminds me of my own children and the age gaps between them.





Here is the picture alongside a print from Faye Whittacker, which I bought at a Hobbycraft(NEC) show and got her to sign.










And as you can see I sent a photo of my children(the centre picture) holding the picture into Cross Stitch Crazy to feature in their 'Show & Tell' feature, this was in September 2002. I was very proud to have my work featured. Unfortunately my children don't look as angelic now!!!
