Here is a card I made this morning for the latest LIM challenge - sketch
and also CAS-ual Friday's challenge which is flowers and/or trees ( I hope topiary trees count)
Note big photo!
I was given this stamp recently by a neighbour who acquired it at a boot fair in a job lot I think, and thought it would look best paper pieced. It took me longer trying to find colours that I thought toned well with each other, (all oddments from my stash) than actually putting the card together. I deliberately omitted the sentiment as I think the card looks better without one.
I'm on the night shift again tonight so going to get my head down now for a few more Zzzz's hopefully.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, two 'bugger's and a 'shit'
Thanks for looking and have a splendid weekend.

Fab card Fiona. Love the simple layering and colours. Zx
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm with you on the new Blogger thing. It's taking some getting used to but I find that a sprinkling of naughty words definitely help with the learning curve. ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for your card - love the paper piecing and the colour choices! A great multi-occasion card to have on hand.
Ha ha you did well with just two buggers and a sh*t!! I did more thatn that.
ReplyDeleteI also noticed the larger photo option, as a s I am sh*t with a camera, that was the only + I could find.
Your card is gorgeous, that image is just fab, would use that in lots of ways, Home card and I bet it cold be adapted for Christmas too.
Good Find.
No more swearing now!!

love your cute paperpieced image. so glad I'm not the only one who sits and swears at blogger!
ReplyDeleteHaha, swear as much as you like, Fiona! Coming from a Sweary Mary like me, that's no surprise, is it?
ReplyDeleteThe bigger photo is worth the change and the two buggers and a shit, your beautiful card can be seen clearly in all its glory. Love the topiary trees!
Hope your night shift goes OK. xxxxx
I agree with you on the new Blogger thing! I had just finally understood the old one. Lovely card, I especially liked the outlined part.
ReplyDeleteWell I just started on Blogger, so it wasn't that big of a change for me, I was still learning! Love how you paper pieced the scene from your stamp. I need to keep that in mind for some of my more involved stamps that I don't feel like coloring. Well done!
ReplyDeleteFab card. I've been using the new interface for a little while now - and the air round the PC is still blue!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!
