Wow, that last week flew by! I have been making a concerted effort to do some crafting every day, inspired by Kathy Racoosin’s 30 day colouring challenge.  I’ll be honest, I have missed a couple of days, but that is the point – it is a no pressure challenge meant to inspire and encourage.  I love it!  I was absolutely stunned when Kathy posted one of my pieces on her blog, The Daily Marker.  It isn’t yet a completed project so I have only posted it on my Instagram account so far but I thought you might like to see it here:

This was made using Altenew’s Baby Zoo stamp set with Memento Grey Flannel ink and my Spectrum Noir pens to add shading.  This is going to be made into a card for a very special little guy that joined our family today!

Onto the Time Out Challenge…  This week is a photo inspired “Home, sweet home” challenge:

Lots of inspiration possibilities here but I focussed on the travel theme and iconic imagery to create this:

I used the fabulous London Mouse stamp set from MFTstamps to create scenes inside the film strip with a little masking.  Images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.  I tried to keep the colour pallet limited but bright, to pop out from the black film strip.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog, leave me a comment and let me know what you think!  Cx
