CCT Masculine

This weeks theme at CCT is masculine. I made a card using a Tim Holtz image which I have coloured with my new Lyra Polycolors, they are so nice to use and blend really easily. The camera was coloured with just 1 grey pencil. I inked the edge of the card with Hickory Smoke distress ink.

The background is silver mirri card embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder. I have put slate alcohol ink onto the mirri card, which looks really effective but doesn't show up in the photo very well. The sentiment and filmstrip are also Tim Holtz dies.

My mum really enjoyed her 90th birthday and we had a lovely party with family and friends.

TMTA Autumn

I decided to have a play with my Alcohol Inks today, it must be about a year since I last had a 'mess' with them, you should see the colour of my hands, but they are great fun to play with!!! The beautiful stamp is from Crafty Individuals and I decided to use the background (which is much shinier than it looks in the photo) and image to make an ATC for this weeks TMTA challenge which is Autumn. I can't believe how many wrens there are about at the moment which is fab as they are 1 of my favourite birds.
I didn't get very far with the housework and it's nearly time to start making tea now, stuffed marrow - yummy!
