Vintage Hanglar Card

Hello! It feels like ages since I've posted on my blog! We're all moved in now to our new house and we're settling in really well! I haven't really been in the crafting mood over the last couple of weeks, because I wanted to settle in and relax a bit first, plus my craft stuff is at the bottom of my wardrobe at the moment, so it's not very accessible. Eventually though, my dad is going to put some floating shelves up in my room, so I can store things on there and then move my craft stuff somewhere else.
When I made this card yesterday, I realised how much I'd missed card making!

I've made it to enter into a few different challenges and I used my mum's new Tim Holtz stamps, which I really like!
I also had a go at doing a sepia effect with my colouring again, and I'm pleased with how it came out, as it's something a bit different and makes a card look a bit more vintage.

Over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge this week, the theme is to use newspaper on your card. I couldn't find a newspaper at our house, so I printed some newspaper text off the computer and punched flowers out of it, and then what did my mum bring back from the shop about five minutes later?...a newspaper! Typical! :)

I'm so glad it's the summer holidays now! So far, I've been chilling out a lot, plus I don't have much homework to do, which is nice! Today, we're all going to our local farm to get some gravel for our new back garden and me and my brother will probably feed the animals!

I'm entering my card into these challenges:

- Allsorts Challenge - Free 'n' Easy

Anyway, I'd better go now. Thank you for looking and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Goodbye For A Week!

Hello! This will be my last post for a week because tomorrow (Sunday) I am going on holiday with my mum and dad and brother to Harlech in Wales.

Here is a picture of where we are going. We are staying to the right of the beach where all the little houses are.

We will be back next weekend.

Anyway, here is a final card before I go. I'm entering it into this week's Stamp Something Challenge. You have to use butterflies or something with wings on your card somewhere and I hope this card will be OK because my butterflies are a bit small!

I can't believe I haven't used this Hanglar stamp sooner! It was sent to me by Carole, I really love it! :)

The paper is K&Co. Roam, the colouring is done with Pro Markers, the sentiment and butterfly stamps are Daisy & Dandelion and the flower stamps are Studio G. The rest is from my stash.

Here is a closer view:

Thank you for looking, bye until next week!

Love, Georgia xx
