CC3: Painted Industrial

Hello Lovelies! I'm back!!!! Had a brilliant time in Germany - I'll share some piccies over the next few days. Starting today. Here's the first one - Penny in her favourite place. My b.i.l had this fab pool in his back garden and she really loved it! Lucy did too!!! They spent many hours in it.


In this one we were at a Luge at a town an hour away from where we were staying in Bielefeld. This is Lucy and her uncle Lee on their way up the track. It was great fun coming down. Really fast - when I didn't put the brake on. 


Now then -before todays card I want to thank you for all your lovely visits whilst I was away! You really are very kind and I will try to catch up with as many makes as I can. I'm sure you've all been very busy over the last week or so. 

Todays card is a bit rushed - I wanted to enter the painted industrial  for the CC3 challenge and this is what I have come up with. 



I used the technique described in the compendium of Curiosities volume 3. I cut my foil tape using garden greens and tattered florals dies by sizzix. The background sheet is paper - no time to make my own last night!  This is how the challenge prizes work. The Curiosity Crew select a winner who will receive a spectacular assortment of Tim’s products, courtesy of Tim himself and Mario Rossi. To be eligible to win, you must visit each of the team members’ blogs and leave a comment there.

So there you have it! I'd like to enter the compendium-of-curiosities-3-challenge-7 with this piece.
Thanks for looking today and I'll be around just as soon as I can!!
