Make Your Own Flowers at Craftalicious

Happy Friday Peeps,

I'm extremely happy that it's Friday as this means that I will be going on a well earned holiday next week and won't be at work, yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!

This fortnight at Craftalicious  Gina has chosen the challenge of "making your own flowers", something we are probably all guilty of not doing enough of and when we do we think, "why don't I do that more often"?  Well now's your chance to get out all your stash and create some beautiful flowers so we can all visit your blogs and steal your ideas, lol!

This challenge is being sponsored by Stitchy Stamps and I have used the image "Sprite".  If you haven't visited Stitchy click HERE and take a good look around, there are some really fab images.  Please pop over to view the design teams creations at the Craftalicious Challenge Blog, but unfortunately a couple of members had computer problems and were unable on this ocassion to use the images provided but you won't be disappointed, believe me!  Anyway enough waffling, here's my card:-

Isn't she fab???

Evening Peeps,

Gosh I almost forgot to post this card. I used the bank holiday to get all organised and in fact it has put me all out with what I am doing and what the days of the week are, I must be getting old, lol. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!

Well my card today is of Ching-Chou Kuik's Fairy of the Night, Sweet Pea Stamp, available right here from Crafts & Me. I have for a change tried to keep this card simple, not an easy task for me, but nevertheless, I love the outcome, quite dramatic. I have had that felt for ages and finally found the opportunity to use it and the black looks stunning with the orange.

Hope you like it, I have to nip off now to take my son to a football game he is reffing. There is no rest for me I can assure you. This is my third night in a row and I am struggling. Those pitches are really windy!
