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.

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.
Card ingredients:
Hobby House Accessories:
Ribbon for bow, Pearl String, Summertime EB Topper
