Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

Guinevere of Camelot

I know one or two of you will be wondering where I have been because I have not been around for the last couple of days.  I must apologise, all I can say is migraine, sorry!

So, better late than never, here is my post for the new Crafty Boots Challenge, which started on Monday.  Most of you will know that Queen Elizabeth II was 90 this year.  At the moment there are all sorts of activities to celebrate this amazing event and Crafty Boots is has dedicated this Challenge to The Queen and has called the challenge 'Queens, Princess and Crowns'.


This stunning image of Queen Guinevere is from the pencil of the amazing Terri Sherman of Delicious Doodles.  I coloured 'Gorgeous Guinevere' with Promarkers and Wink of Stella pens.  I then mounted her on some silver mirri and punched red card.


The backing picture is also from Delicious Doodles, it is called 'Camelot', I coloured this image with my F&C polychromos pencils (this is such a pretty image, I really must use it as the main image some time so you can see all of it).  The sentiment is from Tiddly Inks.

The Crafty Boots Design Team has been very busy making stunning samples, do make sure you pop over to the blog and take a look for yourself.  

Don't forget to enter your regal projects.

Good luck.

    Wow, amazing card Dionne! I love the vibrant colours of the princess set against the muted colours of the castle in the background! Great contrast, what a magical card! hugs :)

      Thank you Pamellia, Terri Sherman's images are so lovely to colour, it is not surprizing that she recently started to have her colouring books published. I do not usually colour a picture for the background but it seemed the right thing for this card.

    This a superb combination of images and the colouring is, once again, outstanding. Like Pamellia I love the contrast between the two. Hope you're now feeling fully better xx
