Fab ‘n’ Funky #449 - Add Pearls/Gems

Hi again Funky Folk!

Well, it's Wednesday again, and I'm such a divvy, I thought it was still Tuesday and so this post is ultra late - so sorry, life is a bit of a whirlwind at the moment and I hardly get time to draw breath, let alone do crafty stuff.

This card actually started life some time ago when I bought the background layering stamps from Crafters Companion, together with the Harmony Quick Dry inks - I have to say, I absolutely love these, they make amazingly quick cards (just what you need when you're already late to the party!).  The only reason this card took any time to make was because I put Nuvo drops on it and they needed time to dry before I finished everything off, I also used some really sparkly gems in the centre of a few flowers but for some reason this has not shown up particularly well on the photo.

Anyway, hope you've had a great "hump" day and can slide into the weekend in a sea of glitter and sparkle!

Look forward to seeing all your makes.

Stars &/or Stripes - Fab ‘n’ Funky #447

Well, doesn’t time fly, here we are and it’s time for another Fab ‘n’ Funky challenge.  With 4th July only tomorrow we have an American theme with Stars and/or Stripes.

I decided to go a little sideways on this one as I’m British and don’t celebrate Independence Day (has anyone seen that online letter from the Queen, telling the Americans that she’s revoking their independence?  It’s brilliant!).  Anyway, I’ve sort of used the stripes and turned them into wooden planks in the background of my card.

All the items on this card are from the Sara Signature Nautical Collection, which I love just about as much as I fell in love with the Shabby Chic collection.  The inks used for the images are from the Harmony Water Reactive collection and for the sentiment from the Harmony Quick Dry inks, I am super in love with this card and probably won't give it to anyone for ages!

Anyway, I am so sorry that this post is late today, I did start it this morning with every intention of finishing it and publishing, but ran out of time.  Hope you've all had a great day today and I look forward to seeing your makes.

TTFN
