What another hectic week BUT the sun is shining, the kids have gone to school without coats for the first time this year and best of all I have a day OFF!!!! Whoohoo!!
It has took me all week to make this easel card box/drawer with only half an hour here and there spare for crafting, but I am really pleased that I have finally finished it and I actually am pleased with how it turned out. I got the courage to make my first one of these from Crafts and Me whose challenge is "anything but a card" also the same challenge over at One Stitch at a Time (sorry not had time to enter recently)!!
I followed the sketch over at Midnight Madness which I loved using, as a side dish they are also asking you to share something BBQ related, LOL< I have shared a picture of my husband and a couple of the kids below enjoying the fire pit BBQ when we were camping last summer!!
Of course the image is Sweet Pea which I stamped with Memento ink, paper pieced part of the dress which is the challenge over at Sweet Pea stampers. I coloured the rest using promarkers and am entering it into the Passion for Promarkers challenge which is ‘fantasy/mythology’. I stamped the Basic Grey butterfly onto some scrap background paper which I made a while ago whilst messing around with various inks LOL and as the challenge this month over at Sir Stampalot is "Butterflies and Blossoms" I am entering into this challenge which I was lucky enough to come 2nd in last months (still doing happy dance from then hehe. I stickled the body of the butterfly to add some bling.
Wow Sarah this is great especially for your 1st attempt it is soooo lovely,
ReplyDeleteYour family look like they are really enjoying the outdoor life in the pic.

Hi Sarah
ReplyDeleteI love it. The colours are gorgeous as is the beautifully coloured image and all the little details, but best of all they way you have done the handles. These are always a problem area and this is such a fantastic idea.
Thank you so much for entering your beautiful creation into Stampalot Challenge this month and good luck.
This is wonderful Sarah and stitch will be so pleased to see you back - she's really missed you over here at OSAAT. Anyway this is fab and I'm still not brave enough to make a box like this (silly given my brief but informative stint at a print and packaging firm lol).Thanks for finding the time and good luck in the other challenges too.
