I didn't tidy up, just crafted!!

Even though I said I'd have a tidy up I was naughty and just played instead. I've made a card I might enter into the card maker of the year in one of the magazines so I won't post a picture of the finished card but here's a couple pictures of the making of it.

I've had loads of fun getting inky with my new distress ink colours and some masks. I will however show you a couple of the things I've made with my Lili of the Valley stamps I bought at the NEC last week.

I've used copics, flexmarkers and promarkers to colour the stamp which I then die cut out with a spellbinder die. I die cut lots of leaves with my bargain £10 spellbinder set and then inked them up with distress inks. I used another spellbinder die to make the rolled rose and inked this also. The card base is a Go Kreate large frame die another purchase from the NEC. I love the autumnal colours, just a bit different from what I would usually use.

Next is another Lili of the Valley stamp coloured with mixture of copics, flex & pro markers with some glitter pen on the wings. The calendar is from papermania one of a set of 10, so I think that you may be seeing several more of these before the new year. I've promised my Mum a calendar again this year but said it may have to be one like this rather than a full month by month one with a different image on each page.
