Our lack of Internet still persists.
We thought it had been fixed as we
had 2 days of continuous usage
but it was obviously not to be.
So the saga continues with the
Service provider telling us no fault found!!
I am slowly going round the twist with it all and
finding it so frustrating to manage any blogging
with the limited time a reboot gives before
the green light flashes orange and disconnects.
I have a connection at the moment
so typing like the clappers.
I was invited by Crafting Musketeers
to be their GDT for May
and this is one of the cards that I made.
The Theme for the challenge is to
Use a Die cut on your project.
I recently went to a class to learn colouring
The Pointillist Way (using lots of dots)
which was run by Jane Gill at
I fell in love with the technique
and came home and mediately
made a few more cards in the same style.
I used a Woodware Stamp 'Amaryllis'
for my image and coloured in with
promarkers in 3 shades of pink and a grey.
Die cut is Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Eight.
Pink and grey toning cardstock from stash.
Distress ink used round edge of image.
Sentiment is also by Woodware.
Card shape is a tent fold with a further flap at the base.
Ribbon and pearls from stash.

Oh, I see a whole new trend flooding Blogland, Mrs. A.!! Your tent card is magnificent!! You are a natural-born Pointillistologist!! Congratulations on the GD spot!!
On the flip side, I'm sorry to hear that you are going round the mental bend over this ridic internet fiasco that never ends! Time to gather the neighbors and sue somebody? Seriously, I do hope the universe tips back to the point where you get some signals and juice and schtuff and that it stays! Big hugs, Darnell
Absolutely beautiful, great colours, added goodies and gorgeous image used.xxx

Dots are the way to go:)
Hope you get sorted. In my village the Internet speed is slow and sometimes my iPad doesn't connect.
Could it be a narrow bandwidths?

Beautiful card - love this technique which I remember learning at school. It's very effective on the Amaryllis. Lovely!
WOW! I'd not heard of this technique before, but you mastered it quite easily I see! The image looks beautiful with all those colorful dots! (I'm still cracking up at the image in my head of your cat getting his daily "mopping!" LOL)
this is amazing colouring, quite different and very pretty, I love your project.
Can completely sympathize with you over your lack of internet as I've been without that and a phone line all day, something wrong at their end apparently, it's only just come back on, just hoping it stays that way, do hope yours soon gets sorted
