Hellooooooo peeps!
What a busy bee I am this week - time off work equals loads of crafting! YAY! The kids both have friends round and they're all busy baking in the kitchen as I type. Now I know I'm going to pay for my free time later when I see the mess they've left behind, but the bonus is that I've made some cards and I get to eat Victoria sponge after tea. So it's a fair trade I think, hee hee!
I had so much fun joining in with the
MDU challange last week that I just had to join in again. This week's theme is Sepia and I think I followed it okay although I didn't go for the vintage look sometimes associated with these colours. I used another adorable Tilda from the Spring set and was sitting back feeling pleased with my creation when I suddenly realised I had her levitating again, lol! I have a habit of doing this - note to self...... when Tilda is in a sitting position you need to position her onto something! DOH! So out came my trusty Sizzix leaf die.... again, and I created a branch of sorts for her to perch on. That was a close one!!
Materials:
Image - Magnolia
Sentiment - See D's Bug Set
Stamped Bugs - See D's Bug Set
Papers - Basic Grey Bittersweet and Mellow
Die - Sizzix Leaf
Embossing - Cuttlebug Folder
Colouring - Copics

I will be back later to check out what you've all been up to. Have a lovely evening and don't forget The Apprentice is on later ;o)
