Crafty Boots Challenge: Black and Bright Colour!

Hi all, hope you're well, you may have noticed that I have taken a bit of a break from blogging to allow me to spend some time with my rapidly growing son!

However one of my New Years resolutions this year is to get back on track with my crafting and in particular the Crafty Boots Challenges which I have been neglecting recently.

This fortnights challenge was set by Freya and is: BLACK AND A BRIGHT COLOUR OF YOUR CHOICE!

So my DT entry is a black an yellow bookmark! Created from 'Basic Black', 'Daffodil Delight' and 'Whisper White' cardstock. On the white card I messily stamped the image from the 'Artistic Etchings' stamp set using 'Basic Black' ink and sprsyed some yellow ink. The topper has been created by punching 'Basic Black', 'Daffodil Delight' and patterned stamped card using the 'Scallop Circle Punch' and to finish I placed a nice big yellow 'Designer Button' in the centre.

A last minute project: Snow Flurry Christmas Decs

Ok, bit scary but Christmas is fast approaching so today I have a Christmas tree decoration created by a fellow demo given to me at a recent swap. You could also use this as a gift tag.

This decoration was created from some 'Whisper White' card and the wonderful 'Simply Scored Tool'. The snowflakes were created from the 'Designer Series Paperstack InColour 11-13' using the 'Big Shot' and the 'Snow Flurry Bigz Die'

Don't forget if you'd like to create decorations like these and would like to buy the materials then drop me an email to make an order: amyjtidd@gmail.com
