Sketch N Stash Challenge

Hello and happy Friday to you - it is still a very wet soggy day here in Blackall with the river rising very quickly. Hopefully it will not get too much higher. I have just finished having lunch with friends - which was lovely, now I feel like a little afternoon nap but I had better not. So I thought I would finish off my latest card for the current challenge over at Sketch N Stash where you can choose  a sketch from their catalogue to case.

Now this is what I started with - a very sad crunched up bit of Anna Griffin paper that had been pushed to the bottom of my stash draw

 I have chosen Sketch No 7 which is this one

And this is my attempt

I have used my favourite Magnolia Wedding stamp which I watercoloured along with a sizzix corner die, some handmade flowers, spellbinders and stickes. The flowers where out of my stash of already made flowers that where left over from one of my previous projects -  A wedding book that you can see here.

This is the inside view with the addition of a Hero Arts stamp.

Ok well tomorrow I am hoping to play along with everyone from Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Although I am not sure if I will get enough time. We have an extra two little people over for the weekend - which will be great fun! Then on Monday I fly out of Blackall and head to Brissy for the week as I am having the first of my five operations on Tuesday. I am a big baby when it comes to pain and all the fun stuff that goes with operations so I am very nervous already. So if I am MIA on here you will know where I am.

I am taking a big pile of stamped images with me to colour while I am away. I find the colouring so relaxing so hopefully it will stop me from feeling sorry for myself.

Ok well be good while I'm gone.

talk soon
