I'm back again today with a quick Birthday card I have made this morning for a forgotten Male Birthday oops! and a challenge, just a quick post tonight as I have had my family over today with a very lively Grandson, we have had a lovely day but are both shattered now Grandad has played trains and then we have played board games somehow I always loose........Now its feet up and a bit R&R.....lol after I have typed this up.
Less is more Challenge for this week #86 is "Recipe" Take 3 Challenges I have taken
Wk 5 Embossing
Wk 42 Silhouette
Wk 55 Punches or Die cuts
Background made by spraying Luminarte Shimmering Mists onto white card, Stamps are Sheena Douglas Highlands Silhouette .......which I am loving using they make a card so quickly, I embossed them using cosmic shimmer black embossing powder, corners were also stamped and embossed onto same background, main card was embossed with Couture Creations folder Houndstooth, punches used from Stampin' Up!
Can't quite believe I have managed to play along at Less is More on the first day!! Hoping I have read the challenge correctly ladies......

Bird on a Branch
Hello everyone sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately, there is so much going on at the moment and I haven't been able to get much crafting done, DH is retiring and so has the job of closing down his business, sort out the yard and workshop....nearly 30 years of sorting!!.......then there is the office to archive which has been a bit of a nightmare which is where I have been spending such a lot of time......we are getting there now, it also is quite a sad time saying goodbye to staff. DH is looking forward to his retirement and hoping to make more time for his hobbies.........hope he is not planning on using my room..........no...he wouldn't dare.........it is mine and too small for two!!!
Something else that has been time consuming .....I have also been trying to sort my crafty room out as I had lost the table that I work on under all the "stuff" and stash that was on it also the floor was so cluttered I was having trouble walking in there................soooooo it is being cleared and I am being hard de-cluttering and getting rid.......well putting in boxes...........things I have not used for a long time....... well that's the plan........
Today I settled into my little room with my newly cleared table with a big big space to work in and played with the gorgeous items I had won in the August challenge over at Tando Creative Challenge Blog .......thanks Di.
My Prize Goodies
I used Tando Mask Bird and Branch and my new distress inks picked rasberry, mowed lawn and salty ocean oh these are gorgeous colours and by mixing picked rasberry and salty ocean the bird has a lovely lilac tint.
Next I took a Tando mini bookplate inked this with the three colours and using the mask added some leaves, on a small piece of seperate card and mask added leaves and stamped a happy birthday mounted this to the back of the mini plate and added two brads.
This is quite a "clean" card for me but still I couldn't resist distressing the edges of the white card, and inking the edges of the green mat with mowed lawn....... I will be linking to The Tando Challenge Blog ................ would have been rude not to don't you think lol.................... September challenge is Trees and or Leaves, pop on over and join in, there are some great prizes to be won, thank you once again Di. My table has again disapeared under "stuff" how can I make so much mess on one little card......but I had fun!
