A big welcome to all of my lovely followers and visitors to my little space in the crafting world of blogland! I love colouring, drool over every embellishment and love to 'look' at papers (never mind using them) - some are just TOO good to use lol. I hope you enjoy your little wander through my creative world and would love to feel that I may have inspired some of you in some small way. Happy Crafting to you all and I hope you will stop by again soon!

Challenge 4 - Hobby House Artists

A huge, massive HELLO to everyone!! Hope you've all been keeping well and happy!  I apologise for me going AWOL these past few weeks but, with lots of changes going on in my life at present, crafting had to take a back seat.  However, I'm slowly getting back into it all and ready to roll again!  The only thing missing at the moment now is my colouring mojo!!! It is still MIA, but I'm sure it will return soon .... I hope!! :)

Today is the start of our 4th Challenge at The Hobby House and our theme for this month is all about the 
HH Artists.  
We'd like to see your creations using a topper or rubber stamp from any of our fabulous artists:
Mo Manning, Elizabeth Bell, Sylvia Zet, Kenny K

The prize for our winner is a mahoosive £25 to spend at The Hobby House Store.
(Postage paid by winner)

For my card today I used an adorable topper by Elizabeth Bell called Summertime - and here she is


Isn't she a little darling!
I inked over the topper to give it a cream background and distressed the edges.  The beautiful background papers are called Antebellum from LOTV and I chose them as my winning prize for a recent challenge :)  They are so fabulous to work with .... I distressed and inked the edges and added cheesecloth in between layers.  I die-cut Marianne Designs butterflies from the same paper and then frantaged them all.
