7th Challenge Ditzy Craftymess

Hi there . Thanks for calling in .

Welcome to my room .

Very quiet here last couple of days with the temperature being in the high 20's low 30's and Doug still very tired ,getting over his "turn" and hospital stay .

Had time therefore to make a card ready for today's

DT post for Ditzy Craftymess Challenge Blog and this fortnight's challenge .

7th Challenge 21st April - Linda's choice - Embossing & Distressing dry or wet .

Crimson Cloud are sponsoring us this time and they have done a guest design spot as well .

Their prize is 3 die cuts for the winner to choose.

Mel's guest design card.

My card to share is combining dry embossing and distressing . I made it for a great crafting buddie of mine .Sandy has it already so can show/post it now .

Forgot to take photo before I wrote inside ..

Began with ivory card , a layer of red card embossed with dots folder and all edges distressed .

Added a pretty paper to diecut frame as background to image which I punched out with circle punch . The inside is pretty much the same .

You will see the other DT ladies on the challenge blog so be sure to call in to see them once you have added your project too.

Love to see what you share .

Now I must turn my attention to some mundane house work as I can't seem to locate the maid who should be taking the washing from the line , preparing supper and all that . YEAH RIGHT !!

LOL

A moment to share a thought ..

All meaningful and lasting change starts

first in your imagination and then works

its way out.

Imagination is more important than knowledge .

Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

Wow , here it is the first week of April done and dusted .

My altered note book is covered with retired SU papers and a cut out from April Showers pack from Pretty Little Studio. No other embellishing cause it is for myself and everyday use.
