Beatrix Potter

It's Friday and I can't believe I've not been blogging for so long. I'm still trying to get back on my feet, this bug has slayed me completely! I've lost a follower meantime, I'm so sorry to see someone leave, it always feels so personal. :) Sometimes life just gets in the way and we're not able to keep up our usual hectic pace, but hey, nevermind, thank you to those who hang on in there, you are what keeps me going. 

I discovered a couple of Beatrix Potter samples that I'd done a while back that never got round to blogging so I  thought, rather than neglect 'El Bloggo' for another day, I'd just pop them in. 

This is Benjamin Bunny in his Tam o' Shanter and this is from one of the image pages on the CD
The papers are also from the Benjamin Bunny CD and work perfectly with the colour scheme. I've inked the edges with antique linen distress ink to tone with BB's shadow
The card and backing papers have been shaped using a Tim Holtz edger die
I used one of the matching inserts from the CD - so handy and easy to use!
The floral arrangement is a cluster of Marianne design dies tucked behind a triple bow and topped with a Spellbinder's accent die and Epiphany button. The linen thread is from Stamping Up.

This cute wee character is Timmy Tiptoes and is one of the stamps in the range. He's coloured with Spectrum Noir pens (sorry I don't have my list) and Prisma pencils for shading
Papers are from the Timmy Tiptoes CD
The pearls have been coloured with Speccies to match the background paper
The floral arrangement is similar to Benjamin's - I just love these! :) It is a cluster of Marianne design leaf dies tucked behind a triple bow and finished with one of the sentiments from the sheet. The sentiment is matted onto Spellbinder circle nesties.

Let's hope that I can be back in action soon. I hate not being able to get a good run at my craft room.

Have a wonderful Easter Weekend. I hope the weather is kind if you are going away and even if you're not. 
See you soon!
