Foxy wishes

Yay it's Friday!!

Work has been really busy the last few weeks and I really look forward to my weekends, so today can't go quick enough for me.

This card is another showing my obsession with colour washed skies.  

This time I've used my Gansai Tambi watercolours to create a beautiful sunset.  I love the warm feel of this sky.

The fox is again from the More Stories set by Avery Elle.  

I really like how he seems to be looking hopefully off in to the sunset and wishing on the crescent moon. 

(Ok that may be just in my head but it makes me happy!)

Hope you have a fabulous weekend.  TTFN Jude xx

It's only a birthday

I made this card a few days ago after seeing something similar.

At the time I thought it just a whimsical little card for a missed birthday or some other such occasion.

Unfortunately it is now how I'm feeling after finding out my job is to go, along with 246 of my colleagues.

Needless to say it hasn't been the best of days!!

The fox is a Lawn Fawn, as are the letter dies.

Not a lot else to say really.  Sorry if this post is a bit of a downer but that's how I'm feeing today.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Clean and Simple - ish!

Friday doesn't need any fanciness so I have a simple little card to share with you.

These two friends are from the More Stories stamp and die set by Avery Elle.  I intended to keep the card very plain with lots of white space, as I love cards like that.  However I really struggle with it and ended up adding a few pearls.

I'll keep trying for CAS (clean and simple) but this will do for now.  What do you think?

Hi there Gorjuss

Happy Tuesday folks.  Hope our UK friends aren't too windswept after the stormy weather the last couple of days.  We were quite lucky in our part of Yorkshire and missed most of the bad stuff.  It did rain and it was blowy but not nearly as bad as down on the South coast.  My London colleagues were nearly all having to work from home today due to a lack of trains!

Anyway today I'm using another of the images I coloured on holiday in Scotland.  This is another Gorjuss image, which I think is called The Fox, but I don't have the packaging so not sure.

I cut the image out with a deckled edge spellbinder and lightly inked the edges with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.  I then layered two contrasting designs onto a purple card and mounted them on to a 6x6 card blank.  All the edges were distressed with the same Aged Mahogany.

The flowers are more of the large papers blossoms we bought in The Range - one is a creamy white and the other is dusky pink.

The sentiment was created on a Dymo hand held printer, using a white paper cartridge.  I just wanted something very simple and I thought this was just enough.

Hope you like my card.  I'd love you to leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
