Hello ... today a new Challenge Blog is launched called 'Show Us Your Twinchies'

Twinchies are 2 inch x 2 inch squares of any material or scrap card .. so you can use up all your bits and bobs' on these.

Northern Ireland

Sometimes we lose our motivation to craft or make a card but these Twinchies take next to no time to make. So have a go and we will be delighted  see what you create when you join in our challenge.

This time our  theme is 'Best Of British.

Scotland

 These are my efforts and I loved making them ... all stamped using Distress inks for the backgrounds and Versafine inks for the main images.

Wales.

 See you soon ... Have a great weekend and Get Twinching with your Twinchies!

Not hanging around indoors too much this morning cos the weather is GLORIOUS!
So, off out and about and might even RECORD the F1 racing instead of watching it live!

Yeah, I know, unheard of!

Made these bookmarks for the PanPastel Challenge  this week.
The theme is Diamond Jubilee.

The red and blue PanPastels I've used to colour the bookmarks are so rich in pigment plus easy and quick to apply with some super results.

Pop over and enter, it's good fun and you may win a super prize of a Trial Pack of the Pans  donated by our sponsor.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and don't forget to slap on the sun cream !

PanPastel Tints with Lavinia Stamps

Morning all,
                 my card today, made with my wonderful PanPastels !
is a birthday card for my daughter Zoe .... who will be Thirtysomething tomorrow !
Have a great day Zoe... love you lots xx

I really enjoyed making this card using PanPastel Tints to give a 'softer' look than I normally do.

 I stencilled some 'texture' using sequin waste and a darker PanPastel colour around the top edge.

The inside of the card decorated to match the front.

 After spraying the background with a cheapo hairspray to seal the colours, I stamped using Stazon inks and a very pretty stamp from Lavinia Stamps called Wild Flower. 

I've also used another Stamp from Lavinia but sorry, I can't remember the name of it !

The PanPastel Challenge theme this week is Pastel Colours  why not enter a card or project... you could win a trial pack of PanPastels.... so easy to use... I love 'em as you know!

The heart on my card is a Tim Holtz die cut and the words are his 'Chit Chat' so with a few 'blobs' of Liquid Pearls ... job done.

Thanks for looking today ...see you soon.
