About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

My card for Sunny Challenges Week 43 June 2012

Here is my card for Sunny Challenges Week 43
http://sunnychallenges.blogspot.com.au/


The sketch below with the proviso that we use the Ocean Commotion stamp set.  I don't have that stamp set so have used the fish from Stampin Up fishy friends stamp set.   Stamped with versamark and then coloured with chalks.  (Doesn't come up well in the scan)    Used fishy ribbon on Cuttlebug Divine Swirls.  Clouds sponged with tumbled glass and faded jeans distress ink.

This is the sketch.


Have just finished making the card.  Took me a while.  I am a bit slow, my arthritis is worse in this cold weather.  It was 6 degrees when we left home this morning.
Spent early this morning at the dentist and then the chiropractor.   Unfortunately have broken another tooth so have to have another crown plus a filling over the next couple months.  More expense I can't afford, but things could be worse.   Have a good week everyone.

This is really a lovely card and quite feminine for a "fish" card. I love the chalk colouring. Thanks for playing along at Sunny Challenges and Creations this week.

Margaret your interpretation once again is so lovely, the fish really look like they are underwater, beautiful beautiful creation. Thank you so much for playing along with us this week at Sunny Challenges and Creations
