Gorgeous Grunge Birthday

Yeh it's the Easter Holidays!  The kids have two weeks off and I've two weeks off of early mornings.  Double Yeh!! 

So this afternoon I grabbed some time and joined in with the sketch over at CASe this sketch which you can see below.  I was a bit daunted when I first looked at this sketch so I went with a fairly literal interpretation. 

I used the splodges from Gorgeous Grunge in Basic Grey and Daffodil Delight.  I stamped Off the Grid over the splodges in Basic Grey which I'd stamped off first.  I then added the sentiment at a jaunty angle.  I used Itty Bitty Banners stamped in Summer Starfruit and die cut with the Bitty Banners Framelits.  Then attached to a Smoky Slate panel popped up on some Dimensionals.  A couple of Candy Dots finishes it off.  The Whisper White is mounted onto Smoky Slate then onto a Basic Black card base. 

I'm also going to pop this into Addicted to Stamps and More which has a CAS challenge this week. 

I think it will suit a teen male.  

It was actually easier than I thought it was going to be so you may see another.  

Hope you have a lovely weekend planned with some crafty time included of course! 

Take Care.  x

Washi Off The Grid

I've got a funky congratulations card for you today.  This is heading to my Niece who has past her exams and will be starting a Primary Teaching course at Aberdeen Uni in September.  Well done Lisa, so proud! 

This weeks challenge at Less is More is to use Washi Tape.  I have used mine from the Epic Day range as the beige tape has numbers on it, I thought this would be appropriate for my Niece.  By the way Washi Tape is great.  If you make a mistake you can peel it off and try again.  Just be gentle with the peeling off or it could tear your paper.  Don't rip it off like a plaster, ouch! 

 I stamped over the washi tape at an angle with the Off the Grid stamp and embossed in silver.  Then it is was just a case of adding the sentiment.  For this I stamped in Tangerine Tango and clear embossed then fussy cut out and popped it up on dimensionals.  

I'm really pleased with how this turned out.  Great when an idea works out as you thought. 

Can you believe next week is September?  My daughter goes on her Primary 7 trip at the beginning of September and it came as a shock to realise that means it's next Monday!  Somehow I thought I had another week to go.  So best dash and get her kit organised.  Before I go though.  Take a look at my Virtual Hostess Page.  I have one space left for the new Stampers 6 club starting in October.  Drop me an email if this appeals to you - ails300@btinternet.com
