Having a go...

... at decoupage.  I won ages and ages ago lots of House Mouse decoupage sheets from Jane and to be honest was slightly scared of them as they seemed to be very intricate to cut and since having a bump in the car thats left me with a slightly wobby hand  - I looked at them but never dared attempt them.   Then recently I came upon Crafting with Cotnob blog and was inspired to get them out and have a go.

So here's my first attempt:




It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be cutting out the little bits :-) and wine helped the wobbly hand lol (cough)

So, I am going to enter this into the House Mouse Monday challenge - flowers & flourish (hope my little flourish in the corner will suffice but if not just let me know :-) ), Also Simon say stamp Wednesday challenge - Animal Antics.  Lastly thanks to Shaz for the head up at the anything goes challenge at Gruffies & guests

Right off to make a teen card as my eldest has received a last minute invite to a sleepover tomorrow night (although the boys birthday was last week - so do I still send a card???), why do I never have any emergency boys cards in my box - rolls eyes.

Have a nice night folks, and thank you for looking.

    A simply gorgeous card Ali!
    Your decoupage is fantastic...I am useless at cutting out anything fiddly and I don't have wobbly hands (and I don't 'do' boy cards so there's none in my emergency box either!)

    Big hugs

    This is absolutely gorgeous Ali, I'm so pleased I inspired you to have a go at decoupage. You have made a brilliant job of cutting out your layers, you certainly started with a fiddly one, I find the little tails the most difficult! Your card is so pretty, such lovely papers and great design.
