A Card

Hi All. Thank you for visiting Jumbled Crafts it's always good to welcome you here. So sorry if you live where there is extreme weather conditions. I hope it improves for you soon. I am looking forward to the start of the Winter Olympics and especially the curling which was wonderful last time.

I haven't done much crafting this week as I have a sore eye at the moment, but I did manage to make a card yesterday for the challenge at Try it on Tuesday. The theme this time is travel.


I made this card. It has a black background and then I added a torn piece of the beautiful animal print card that Valerie had sent to me  The stamp is from a set I got free in simply Homemade magazine a long time ago.. I used Distressed inks and Promarkers for colour and a piece of brown wool at the side.


Hope you have a lovely day

Chrissie x

    Beautiful card, love how you used the wild animal print! Thanks for playing along at TIOT, too. Hope your eye is soon better. It's wild, wet and windy here, i nearly got bowled over at the Rhine this morning! Hugs, Valerie

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
