making hay while the sun shines

these are what I rustled up yesterday before our bank holiday Hemelvaartsdag (literally heaven journey day) today and therefore a long weekend without much chance to scrap

The Scrappiest- for this one I tried to use a combination of colours- cream from the dictionary and map paper, pale blue and pink although the butterflies are purple. It's called dirt bag cos that's what she usually is in some way- face, feet, hands always filthy the sketch

Scrap the Girls

- had a colour combination challenge- light pink, dark pink, black and white

I misted white through an old chipboard backing sheet and then dropped red mister on while it was wet so it would be pink and spread. I then outlined with pink pen. The three little punched circles are left overs from the large circle border punch I used at the bottom of the LO
Stuck Sketches

Stuck sketches have a super simple sketch this time- always good by me- I changed it a little I have circles instead of stars and all my bits are the same size. I very rarely tell people my techniques- i don't want people to feel I'm trying to teach them to suck eggs but I'm going to tell you how i made the circles-

You need to differently sized circle punches- punch through the paper with your smaller punch first- then you can position your second punch over the top and centre it round the first hole you made- punch away and you should have a punched ring

The LO is called under the bench- last week at cricket the two smallest were a little bored so they kept crawling under the bench and poking our bottoms- i had to take pictures of their giggling faces
