Good Sunday Morning Ladies,
We had a very cloudy day yesterday but we were determined to get a start on the pallet collars that we are using for out raised beds for our vegetable plot. We made good progress, however we were aware that the heavens could have opened at any moment, if you wait for the perfect day though it might not come in time, we need to get these painted and filled as soon as possible so that we can get planting. Lots of our seeds have sprouted too so there is lots of potting on to be done too. I bought some really pretty Dahlias from a grower called 'Farmer Gracy' they are all peaches and cream colours, they need potting up too!! I think we need a gardener!!! 🤣😂
Let's have a look at what you have been making:
Your TicTacToe Cards

Maria's Description:
Hello 🤗
I have made a card for Sunday, yippee yay me 🤣. I just sat here and played with doing some colours and embossing and this is what I ended up with. Hope it's alright.
I used TH inks ( Dusty Concord, Shaded Lilac and Kitsch Flamingo 🦩). Heat embossed some flowers. Coloured some in and finished off with some raindrops.
Hope it's alright?? Maria it is BEAUTIFUL, your blended background is so pretty, I never think to use Kitsch Flamingo but it is such a pretty pink. Your embossed flowers are so delicate and work perfectly with the background. I think this is one of your prettiest cards, thank you so much for inspiring me with your colour choices and for taking part.
Having your new craft studio is obviously boosting your creativity XXX

Here is my card for this week.
Punch/ Stamping/ Card.
I used Tim Holtz stamp,( one of my favourites as you probably have noticed.)
Coloured with my zig pens on Bristol paper.
Background dots is a small Lavinia £1 stamp.
Lilian thank you for another beautiful TicTacToe card, your blending with your Zig pens is seamless, its such a lovely stamp to colour, which shows off colouring skills perfectly. I find it incredible that you use a different colouring medium each week too. The dotty background highlights the stamped piece so well and that tiny border of blue really makes the colour pop.
Thank you so much for a beautiful challenge card my lovely XXX

Here’s my first go at doing a shape within machine and doing an offset line
Had to make the outside edge inward and the shapes outward
TicTacToe- patterned paper - stamping (sentiment) - embossing (sentiment)
Karen 'Wow' you must be so pleased with how this card turned out, I know I'd be buzzing!! It sounds so complicated but my goodness it was worth the time it took to work it out. Lucy was really impressed when I showed her, I think she might have a play. The paper you have used works so well with the design too.
Thank you so much for taking part and inspiring Lucy XXX

Some pretty florals in today's display, as always it's surprising to see how each of you interpret the TicTacToe grid. Thank you all for participating ❤️
More garden chores for us today, I will be doing the lighter tasks as always, lots of potting up and potting on today.
What are you all up to today?
