VICTORIAN OCTAVIA MOPPET

Hi everyone. I thought I'd sneak another post in while I can. Trying a little glass painting this afternoon. Quite pleased with it so far....just waiting for my outlines to dry!
For this card I have used a Lacy Sunshine image, called "Victorian Octavia Moppet" coloured in with Promarkers. For the background, I have used papers from Papermania Olivine Essence pack. I added flowers and a cameo from my stash, and the Penny Farthing was cut on my Cricut machine (Heritage cartridge).

HOWDEE DOODEE AT THE CRAFTER'S CAFE

Hi everyone. Hope you are all well.
First off I would like to apologise for my wonky photo. There is a reason....I will try and keep this short but please READ! Moral of story ahead....make sure you back-up your computer! I thought I had; I thought I had all my digistamps and papers safely on discs. But when your PC dies and you find out your back-up discs don't work....what do you do?! Well, you have a rant on Facebook of course. Then you try not to cry, even when your husband says "you're not too upset, are you?". But, as a good friend of mine once told me, everything happens for a reason. I now have a new laptop (thanks big bro!), and have all my digis, photos etc back; VERY BIG THANKS to my friend John, who managed to work his magic on the discs. And I have learned how to use Google Drive to keep all my stuff safely tucked away. I have only just managed to figure out how to download photos from my camera though.....and I've not found the "how to edit" bit yet...hence, wonky photo!
Anyway, waffle over! Today's card is my DT make for The Crafter's Cafe where the theme this week is "Use die-cuts and / or punchies".
The image I have used is called "Sheriff Bobby" and he's from our sponsor this week:

I have used Promarkers to colour him in, and die-cut the image; also used some die stars and bunting. Hope you like!

Now it's over to you. Die-cuts and punchies...easy!

ANYTHING BUT A CARD AT THE CRAFTER'S CAFE

Hi everyone!
Hope you're all feeling fine and dandy. I'm here today with my DT make for The Crafter's Cafe where the theme this week is "Anything but a Card".
Our sponsor is "The Paper Shelter" and I chose to use a pre-coloured image (cheating!) called "Learning is fun".
I have altered an empty food can to make a pen and pencil holder for my little girl. I have used paper, also from The Paper Shelter, to cover the tin (using Mod Podge) and added some organza ribbon to the top and bottom. I stuck on my fussy cut image and let my little Pops pick some flowers from my stash to finish it off. She loves it!
Now it's over to you.....anything but a card.
