Happy Birthday MAWTT

Well this isn't all going to plan at all, in fact I'm not even sure you can read this post!!  My computer died yesterday and everything to do with my blogging is trapped inside it! I'm trying to post this from my iPad as I'm in the middle of a blog hop to celebrate

3 or More Layers @ Diva's

Hello again lovely people, my presence here is few and far between lately, I'm just not feeling it anymore and the bad news just keeps coming this year! Roll on 2015!!

I did manage to put together a card that I had coloured the image for months ago 

(I have at least half a dozen half made DT cards on my desk)

Just in time for a new challenge at

DIVA'S BY DESIGN

and the theme is

3 Or More Layers

Here's my effort

 As much as I'm not creating I still adore these gorgeous images from Saturated Canary and do still manage to buy more! This one I have had for a while but yesterday I decided to take a little look over Krista's shop and wow lots of new images I hadn't seen popped into a basket, maybe it will give me the kick up the backside I need to get back in any sort of routine!!

The beautiful papers I've used before, they're a Nitwits pad from LOTV called Bare Necessities, my favourite embellishment and now trademark flowers from lots of different places and the 'Cherish' is a metal word I've had for ages and I gave it a coat of Guesso before painting it with acrylic paint.

We have a fabulous sponsor this week

Red, White & Blue @ Diva's

Morning Peeps, if you're surprised to see me here join the club cos I am too! Instead of using this Mad Hatter image I should have used a white rabbit because I've spent the whole year so far (only nearly half way through it) running around shouting 'I'm Late I'm late"!

I've been back in hospital and gone back to work (ouch!) and generally achieve nothing most days despite flying around like a lunatic. A bit of card making therapy would be ideal if I could fit it in.

It has taken me the best part of 2 weeks to make this and only just made the sentiment yesterday to get it up in time for the new challenge at

DIVA'S BY DESIGN

and the theme of 

Red, White & Blue

Here's my card

Using the fabulous Mo Manning's Mad Hatter which I've been meaning to colour for AGES!! Like I said I made the sentiment on my computer (which only just decided to work again today)You could use this card for any occasion but I thought I'd use it as a belated birthday card, I have missed so many of my friends birthdays this year I should have made this card in bulk! I coloured the red and blue in pencils as I really struggle with both of these colours in copics, I can get lighter versions but not the depth I wanted.

The papers are Bo Bunny, I've had them for ages. I was going to add some bunting but I thought as bunting was printed on the paper it would be overkill to add more.

We have a super sponsor this week
