Love Birds

Morning all. We just got back yesterday from a lovely week away in Ironbridge and I’m up and attacking the laundry pile at the moment.

This weeks new challenge at A Gem of a Challenge  is  ‘Wedding Anniversary/ Wedding Day/Engagement’ and it’s perfect timing as Hubby and I celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversary while we were away.

• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Card: Kraft Card, Red Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Dies & Punches: Fanciful Circle Nested Dies and Stitched and Pierced Nested Circle Dies both from Polkadoodles 
• Sentiment: Written on the Computer
• Ink: Brilliance Moonlight White Ink Pad and Ranger Perfect Impressions Inkpad
• Embellishments: Gold Perfect Pearl Powder, Doodling and Pearls

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

DT Call at Tiddly Inks

Afternoon All. I’m enjoying a rare day with no children! They stayed at my parents last night so Hubby and I  could go out and celebrate our Wedding Anniversary.  It’s not all fun and games though I’m in the middle of a big clean up as the builders have finished and I’ve got to move us back into our bedroom and ensuite…….you wouldn’t believe how far the dust went.

Anyhoo back to the point of my post….the DT call at Tiddly Inks. The card I made for the call is my Hubby’s Anniversary card, so I couldn’t post it until I’d given it to him. I’ve used Wryn Have Heart but if you would like to take a look at my other Tiddly Inks makes please click here  http://craftingbelle.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Tiddly%20Inks 

I was a bit brave on this one as I attempted to colour the background to look like wallpaper…I think it turned out OK!

Supplies:

• Image: Wryn Have Heart from Tiddly Inks
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Card: Aqua and Pink card, White Swiss Dots card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Dies & Punches: Fiskars 3-in-1 Heart Corner Punch
• Embellishments: Glitter Glue and Alpha Stickers

Right I must get back to the cleaning!
