Doesn't time fly ...

Hi everyone,

I'm a happy challenge bunny today - I was half way through making my entry for this week's Out of a Hat Creations Challenge when I logged on last night and saw that this week's Artful Times Challenge also fitted perfectly with my little creation ...

The Out of a Hat challenge is to use either their chosen picture (or any other picture) as inspiration for your piece.  Now I'm not very confident with colour but to me this hot orange has the wow factor so I thought I'd give it a go  ...

The Artful Times Challenge is "Time"

The only orange ink I have is Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink, so I brayered a piece of card with it then stamped the Hero Arts butterflies in Adirondack Watermelon (had it for months but was still in the wrapper!).


I've toned it down a bit with dark grey - using the Tim Holtz Clock and Bird dies.






Hope you're enjoying your weekend.  Thankfully it has been a dry and mostly sunny day here today - I spent the afternoon doing a car boot sale to raise some funds for my son who is going on an expedition to Madagascar next summer.  Honestly, kids these days don't know how lucky they are - we'd have been happy going to a caravan for a week!

Thanks for visiting.

Too Many Challenges, Not Enough Time!

Hello bloggers,

I seem to be falling behind with my challenges lately, and this week some new challenges have been launched which I'd also like to play along with, so I've made a tag which covers three of these challenges ...

Artful Times - Make a Tag
Gingersnap Creations - GC142 Spicy Supply Challenge - Border Punches
Simon Says Stamp and Show - A Tag

Tag base is a terracotta coloured linen card, punched with an EK Success border punch. I inked up some card with Distress Inks then stamped with Dina Wakley's 'Lonely Girl'. Sentiment is Wendy Vecchi. Butterfly punch is Martha Stewart.

Artful Times is a new challenge blog set up by the lovely Neet, Sam & Von - it would be great if you could join in and support them in their first challenge.

Thanks for visiting.
