Zoe Challenge # 12 "Time"

Good morning Lovelies! And a very warm welcome to new followers!

Wow what an amazing amount of fabulous entries with our last challenge! I hope this one will be just as popular? For Rhedd and Rosie's challenge

Our Rosie is sponsoring this challenge, the theme was chosen by Moira which is "Time" a great theme!

Rosie is very generously offering this wonderful prize!

Here's my card!

I used clocks background by Urban stamps which I stamped with coffee Archival, I then heat embossed with white "stampendous" detail EP the wonderful vintage Flourish from "Indigoblu" then blended over with Crushed olive and Vintage photo DI, I used several DI onto my brown mat spritzed with water and swooshed A4 card stock through it then dried and repeated twice more, I used Tim Holtz dies to cut this card into the rosettes and clock face! The sentiment is from a "Time" stamp set from Creative Expressions!
I hope I've inspired you to join in? Don't forget to pop along and check out my very talented teamies makes too? Thank you so much for taking the time to visit! Have a great day xx hugs Zoe xxx

Very exciting news!

Good evening Lovelies! I'm sorry it's a late post.

I have some very exciting news to share with you! I can hardly believe it! I have been invited to become a DT member for Lavinia Stamps! :D I'm so thrilled, it's a dream come true for me, I can't wait to get started, I love Lavinia Stamps, I have many, the quality is great and the gorgeous designs are unique and beautiful, why not check them out here?

So onto my card! I heard some sad news today that my daughters ex-boyfriends dad past away after a very brave 7 year battle with cancer, such a lovely man, he will be greatly missed, he was awarded a CBE a few years back for his tireless charity work in our area, he was responsible for setting up a food kitchen and also accommodation for the homeless!

I created it with Pan Pastels, and an Indigoblu stamp called "stylised flowers" the colour combo Turquoise shade and Violet, I half inched from the very talented Eileen Godwin I saw her gorgeous tag the other day and loved it! I thought the colours suited a sympathy card, what do you think? Thank you visiting today, really appreciate it xx

Lavinia stamps and Pan Pastels!

Good evening lovelies! Friday again, where are the weeks going?

Tonight I'm sharing with you a card I've made using the wonderful Lavinia Stamps and Pan Pastels, a match made in heaven as far as I'm concerned! I have to admit I was inspired to make this card by the very lovely and talented Pauline Butcher you can visit her wonderful blog here! I'm also entering it into the Lavinia stamps challenge, the theme is "punch or die cut" for a chance to win the most generous prize of a £40 voucher for their web shop! Wow!

Speaks for itself really lol! I have added some of the fab detail sparkle by Imagination crafts to the flower centres, it's lovely stuff actually, not to be confused with glitter glue, although similar but in fact it's more dimensional, which is fab.

Hope you like it? Thank you so much for taking the time to visit and leaving a comment, it really does make my day. Have a great weekend xxx

Show us your Twinchies!

Good evening Lovelies! Wow what a storm during the night and this morning! Not keen on them, but got through it without retreating to bedroom and drawing the curtains lol!

Just a quick post tonight, I have made a couple of Twinchies for my old stomping ground http://twinchie-twinchiehotmaillive.blogspot.co.uk/ in support of the lovely Sylv! The theme is "English Country Garden" I've used a "Mini Jofy" stamp, I tried masking the first one so I only got the shed but didn't line up we'll enough! However I liked it a bit random, thought it suited the stamp? I coloured them in with my Inktense pencil's, I used DI to colour the card and a tiny butterfly punch to finish!

Thank you for visiting xxx
