Creative Inspirations meets Friday Sketchers

There is a lovely simple sketch at Friday Sketchers this week, but my interpretation turned out a bit bland so I had to add a bit of extra bling, but I still feel it is lacking a bit of WOW! I guess she turned out OK in a shabby chic kind of way! I am also entering this in for the Creative Inspirations challenge this week, which is paper piecing, which I did on Tilda's pinafore & bow. My DPs are K & Co & she is coloured with my trusty distress inks.
We have been over to my parents in Clitheroe this weekend for Father's Day. I do find buying pressies for my Dad hard. However, he appreciates his beer & is always happy to accept a few bottles of his favourite tipple! My husband on the other hand, is still a big kid, & there is always a video game he needs that the boys were happy to give him!
Hope you have all had a good weekend, only 5 days to go till the next one!!

Regards,
Andie xx

Magnolia Vs Stampavie - Week 17, Carla's Sketch!

Here's Cross Stitch Tilda come to play at Magnolia vs Stampavie this week. Carla's sketch was fun. This card puts me in the mood for Spring & given the weather here in Manchester today, perhaps it is not too far away. But with Spring comes gardening, which I actually enjoy, but will seriously impede on my crafting time - there are not enough hours in the day as it is. Oh, well, some weeds are actually quite attractive, looks like there will be plenty in my garden this year, LOL!
FYI, I coloured the image with Distress Inks & the papers are by Melissa Frances. I got a 10m reel of the raffia lace from Hobbycraft, so expect to see it a lot more! The little blossoms are from Crimson Crafts, highlighted with Stickles.

Hope you are all having a great week. Thanks for looking.
