Like Gnome Other

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.

This week is our lovely Lolo's turn to host and she would like to see 'Masculine'

So this card was for my Dad who celebrated his 70th birthday on the 7th July, it was made as a bit of a joke as my sister bought him a gnome for the garden, then she kept buying him in different poses etc, then my daughter bought him one with a wheelbarrow with a plant in. Now everyone buys him them.  I asked if he liked collecting them as they are all over his garden now, he said I don't collect them, I don't know why everyone keeps buying them, but now that is mine and my dads secret that we have a chuckle at.  So when he saw my card he laughed and we just looked at each other with grins on our faces.

Tea At Three

Welcome to my blog, it's a new month for Stamping Sensations and We Love Chocolate Baroque challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'For A Lady'  So to create this card I did a background with Distress Inks then over stamped in Tea Dye the Venetian Crackle.  I stamped the image twice, coloured the first one with Distress inks, added glamour dust around the clock face, then on the second image I only coloured the bird and the teacups, I then fussy cut them and added glossy accents.  I decoupaged the second image onto the first.
