Hello! I haven’t posted in over 3 weeks – but I needed a blogging break and so took one. But I am back now and have a cute card to share using some Penny Black products. This little fox is coloured with Copic Markers.

Hope you have been busy crafting in my absence! I have crafted a little bit, but not much. We did however have 400mm of rainfall in 36 hours last week which caused some significant flooding here on the South Coast but we were fine. I can report today that the sun is out and shining brightly! First day of spring tomorrow and I can’t wait! I LOVE spring.

Until next time,

It’s a good day to be happy

So the Online Card Class Background Check is almost over and I have finally managed to make a card for it! I have enjoyed all the videos and techniques used, but I have a house full of sick kids and hubby is away on business, so I’m pretty proud of getting one made!

This card uses the inking blend technique that Laura Bassen showed on Day 1. I masked off the horizon with some Post-It tape and blended in some Salty Ocean Distress ink for the sky and Mowed Lawn for the grass. To add some interest, I sponged in some clouds (I created a stencil from card stock using a cloud die from Poppy Stamps). The bears are a Hero Arts stamp, coloured with Copics.
