Well hello strangers.... Remember me?
I can't believe how long I've been missing but this lovely weather has been playing havoc with my craft time, rendering it non existent actually!! That a few little life changing events that I won't go into at the minute but at long last I have a card to share!!
Today is the start of a fabulous new challenge at
Diva's By Design
and we have a lovely game of
Bingo
for you to play along with.
Here is my card which took me a whole month to finally finish!!
I've used the lovely 'Fairy Fae' from this weeks sponsor
I cut my card base with a Go Kreate die and coloured my image with Copics. I've thrown everything but the kitchen sink at it and I think I kinda like it LOL
In real life the colours are much more softer, I'm surprised how bright they actually photographed at 7am yesterday morning before I dashed off to London on a buying trip for the shop.
Head over to the main challenge blog for lots of gorgeous inspiration from my very talented teammies and all the relevant information to the challenge.
Ooops almost forgot.....
Here's the Bingo Board!!
I've gone diagonal with distressing, die cuts and pins or across the top as I have some fantabulous distressed ribbon from Live and Love Crafts and an assortment of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and EVERYWHERE!!
Thank you guys for sticking with me and I hope to be back in regular action sometime in September.
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Hi, My lovely Young Lady, you may have been gone but certainly not forgotten.
But you have made a triumphant return, with a stunner of a card, fab colours and a great shape, haven't lost your colouring skills either.
Everything crossed for you.
Take care.
