LPoCF #236 Polkadoodles Pickles Hedgehog

 Hello again,

Well, our second month of winter has been fairly unremarkable, no snow at home but some a few towns west of here had snow flurries. I have been busy cutting and mounting a collection of seconds from the now closed Darkroom Door stamps, I got quite a good array of stamps. 

A new scan on an old injury and finally over the area I call the sore spot, revealed multiple avulsed bony fragments (avulsed =injury to the soft tissues either ligament or tendons which was significant enough to pull soft tissue and a piece of bone off at the time of the injury) and damage to a different ligament in my ankle and that there is actually something that can be done about the pain! 

Today brings us to an all-new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Polkadoodles who kindly gave the team two images to work with, I chose Pickles Hedgehog Christmas Pudding and have made another Christmas card for my stash.

Happy Birthday Giraffe

 Hello again,

We are expecting snow here this week, we don't often get snow but have had some the last two winters. It brings Sydneysiders out and about in hopes of seeing snow without the multiple days travel or flight to our snow fields in Alpine regions of New South Wales, Victoria or Australia Capital Territory... 

Today brings us to another all-new challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends and this fortnight we are sponsored by Mirtillamente Digital Stamps I have used a digital stamp called Almost Cute Giraffe to make a birthday card. I have used an ancient sketch from somewhere, I am now having trouble finding it again

Bokeh

 Hello again, 

I hope you are all feeling warm, we have just spent over a week in Winter without a heater after the gas heater malfunctioned, first repair company said the wait was 3 weeks before they could come out... company number two came one week and one day later... the ignition part of the heater broke... 

I am joining in with the lovely ladies over at Group of Seven with this month's technique being Bokeh, I have used Candied Apple, Ripe Persimmon and Mustard seed distress oxide inks to create the background and I created my own circle template using the backing from Ezy-Mount foam and three different sized circle punches, largest is a Fiskars squeeze punch 1", adding layers of dots with some white pigment ink.

Here is my card: -

What I used
White Card blank 12.6x17.8cm (5x7")

White cardstock
Mustard Seed, Candied Apple and Ripe Persimmon Distress oxide inks

Colorbox White pigment ink
Memento Tuxedo Black
Kaisercraft Leaf die
Darkroom Door Sentiment (Full Bloom Vol.1)
Paper Rose Stitched rectangle die
