Color Dare #654

 


  This picture shows my make for the



Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes.

This picture shows the challenge - 


I tend to make Christmas cards all year round ( makes it less hectic in November!) and this was a new die set from heartfelt creations.
I used black, pink and a touch of green with a black card blank and silver mat. 
The sentiment is a die from my stash.


Hope you will join the challenge

Happy Crafting!

Here is my card:



Today's card uses Pearl Balleigh monster and Senti Set coloured with markers. I first printed the image on a sea background, trimmed this and added it to a cream card blank.

WOYWW #833


 It is Wednesday so

 I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #833 and this is my desk




This is my desk at home but we are actually at Matty's this week looking after the granddaughters.  As a consequence I couldn't join in the Zoom at the weekend, I'm sorry to say.  And as luck would have it my Australian citizenship came through with the ceremony yesterday. This meant Kevin was left in charge of the girls - it's mainly just chauffeuring them about as they are now nearly 17 and 13 - while I took the train to and fro. It is a 3 hour train journey but costs only $5  each way (about 2 pounds 50). I was home for one night and Sophie came with me to the ceremony and also took me to the cinema on Monday night. We saw the latest Mission Impossible.


On my desk I was making a junk journal page with flips.




I am now back in East Gippsland. Not doing much crafting apart from knitting:



This morning we went to Lakes Entrance.



This was the ATC I shared last week:


These are ones I made thinner to make then easier to post. Thank you Spyder, Mary Anne and Angela for swapping. They are on their way !



Happy WOYWW!
