I'll kickstart my blog with an entry I placed in Seven Hills Crafts June challenge over on their blog, whilst it's too late to enter into this months challenge they run one every month, so check their blog in July to see what that months challenge will bring!

June's challenge was to use their sketch as a starting point.

My entry was a card using some stamps from my new favourite companies Lawn Fawn and Mama Elephant.


I used Lawn Fawn Loads of Fun stamps and dies (I'm a sucker for their coordinating dies as I loathe fussy cutting!), I stamped two cute little rabbits from the Mama Elephant Up & Away set.. She's up on the shelf missing her mate (on a side note, does anyone else feel a little guilty when you put stuffed animals in the washing machine..!?). The washing machine door was cut using Lawn Fawns large circle frame die in the smallest of the set, I cut several frames, layered them and I also used a piece of acetate for the glass, theres a sock or two in the machine that should shake and move around but my rabbit seems to stick them in place instead, so whilst it failed on the shaker front I still think it turned out OK!

I coloured in my images using Spectrum Noir markers.. I have to admit, the colouring looks a little better in person as it seems to show as being less blended in the photo.

I only discovered Lawn Fawn and Mama Elephant in March/April this year, and I love them! It's so easy to whip up a cute card and I really enjoy colouring in the images too :)

I can't wait for Julys Challenge!
