Fruity time at The Outlawz

Good afternoon friends,
Yes I know I am running a bit late, but it has been a madly busy few days, and I have also had a bit of a battle with my back...this slowed me down, but I think I am slowly getting back on track. Welcome to my new friends...great to see you here and hope you will find some inspiration to return often.

Today being Tuesday it is again the  Colour challenge at The Outlawz, and this week it was Guylou's turn to choose a photo inspiration and colour palette, with the twist being add a fruit print or embellishment



Lovely summery colours...but here we are heading into winter, so not ideal for us, but I managed something...and last Sunday being Mother's Day we had a lovely brunch with our son & DIL and there  on the table were the most beautiful and delicous strawberries....

The paper I used was  all from my scrap box. I decided to stamp strawberries on the yellow spotted paper to match the fruit on the dress.

The image is a Whiff of Joy that I haven't used in absolutely ages. Coloured with watercolour pencils cut out with a scolloped die.

The sentiment was computer generated and cut out with an X-cut label die.

A ribbon and an apple brad just finished it off.

This month our sponsor for all the challenges is

WOJ challenge no 69

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a good weekend and ready for a new week. I haven't blogged for a whole week, as I had so many things to do. I finished a 12 card Easter swap, and a few others, and tried to get birthday cards out. That was the fun stuff.

I am hoping to get in quite a few challenged this week. Here is the first.

The Whiff of Joy challenge was for "coffee and cream" certainly not my usual colours, but had a try.

Papers: Card stock, - white onto which a matted brown bazzil card.

DP. The first is PSX Paper designs. A piece which I had for ages. Cut with a nestability from a Fabscraps paper "bohemian natural" This is a local company, and then also cut a brown nestability

I received my new stamps a week ago and couldn't wait to use them. Decided on "Willow with champagne" as it is a birthday card and she looks all ready for a celelbration.

Cut it out and coloured it with my aquarelle pencils and some twinling H20's.

Embelishments. Ribbons from my stash, punched paper flowers, pearls and some glitter.

It felt really good to make a card after a week off.

Hope to be back soon. Love to hear from you
