Love You Hundreds and Thousands

This month’s challenge on Hero Arts is to make a card inspired by the 2011 catalogue or do some masking or something special with the inside of the card. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve gone through the catalogue admiring the stamps and making up my wishlist!

For this card I was inspired by all the yummy cards on page 27 of the catalogue. Last year Lisa created a scrumptious looking donut card using real ingredients like chopped nuts and salt. So I thought it would be fun to add some colourful hundreds and thousands to my card.


Stamps (Hero Arts) - Have a Donut & Ancient Motif

I used scraps for the coffee cup. A little piece of blue card for the sleeve and on the pink piece I had applied worn lipstick distress ink to the Ancient Motif stamp, spritzed with water and stamped on white card. Then I added some Glossy Accents to the “coffee” for some sheen.



I thought the colours in the hundreds and thousands might run if I used Glossy Accents to stick them on the card so I cut heart shapes out of sticky labels and stamped another label with the donut for the topping. Hundreds and thousands are as bad a glitter – I seem to have them everywhere now!



I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I Donut Know.....

It's probably because it's Lisa's week on the Hero Arts blog but I seem to be in the mood for making fun cards at the moment. Yesterday I saw Lisa’s adorable French cupcake card again on her blog and had another laugh. So I decided to make another card using Mon’s cute templates.

I just coloured the donuts, added the moustache and berets, some stickles to the white sprinkles and googly eyes. The rest of the sentiment “what I would do without you” is on the inside of the card along with "mon amour".

At last, a blue sky!!



After a few days of endless rain I was delighted to get up this morning and see this. We've been listening to the music drifting over from Oxegen for the last couple of days and feeling so sorry for the soggy festival goers. At least it looks like they will get a good day today. I think Eminem is one of the acts playing tonight, so the music will be more than drifting over to us, if his last concert here is anything to go by!
