Guitar Lessons

What happens when I take a guitar in my hands? You can here bling, bling, brang and "no, wait..." bling, grrr "no, wait..."

This is Annabel and her guitar lessons :)
These "sentiments" are just words like "no, not like this", "wait". Trying very hard to hit notes and play it well. When you open the card, there are words "it is thought that counts".

Same works with so many things, you try and fail, you want to do your best, and you try very hard. It is not always the case, that result needs to be perfect. It is the thought that counts.

Again Spectrum Noir markers.

Lets see what this was made of:
Card blank Craft UK
Stamp Lili of the Valley
Colorine Spectrum Noir markers
Die cuts Go Kreate, Spellbinders and Tonic Studios
DP Dovecraft (argh, not sure, better play it safe and say stash) (Pun intended!)
Orange and white cardstock Papermill Direct
Glitz it glue was used on Tonic Studios' die cut, Glue gives nice finish

There are these challenges I would like to take part:

Crafty Catz - Challenge 224 Anything Goes
Cut it Up- Must have Die Cuts - No. 41 - Anything Goes

Sister Act Card Challenge - Cards. - No. 50 - Anything Goes

A Girl and A Boutique

Ok, I wanted to try masking, but ended up cutting the image and sticking it on the background. Maybe next time. Or not.

Anyways, Kenny K again and Promarkers :) This image is nice, cheerful and great for colouring face. Now she even has eyeshadow ;)

Background is Magnolia stamp as well as stone steps. All flowers are homemade and I have nicely inked fingers :)

Making flowers is very therapeutic and you can always burn your fingertips, keeps you awake OUCH! if you are nodding off when crafting at night time.

Small one is made using Tonic Studios Petite punch and almost as thin as tissue paper. Got papers from Home Bargains and they make sweet petals.
Tonic Studios Petal Pairs are used making those three bigger ones, too. Weird looking ball is thick handmade paper + hot glue, and the daisy looking (well, with good heart you can see a daisy) are again thin paper. Green stuff is Marianne cutting die and a maple leaf puch.

This is Marianne cutting die, rolled up a bit with embossing tool (ball 6mm)
