Hope everyone is managing to find time to craft over the school Easter break. My kiddies are keeping me busy during the day.... by night I become a secret crafter (tee hee). Was up until 3am crafting last night! Made this card for my niece. I followed the sketch on the new challenge blog Stamp with Fun. My Time To Craft was asking for projects jeans/denim inspired. A Spoon Full of Sugar would like to see a card with the recipients age on. Lastly The Pink Elephant is asking for stamping, embossing and punching on a project. I actually stamped and embossed both of the images, I find it really helps when water colouring and I quite like the glossy slightly raised line on the image too.
The papers I have used are K&Co ( I have stacks of these to use up as they came bundled into a lovely storage file... you guessed it I bought more than one as I like the file. Doh!) The cute cat is a Whiff of Joy stamp and the Sweet girl is from Artful Inkables. I have coloured them in with distress inks. I have used my Martha Stewart Doily punch and die cut Quickutz photo corners and number dies for this card. The panel behind the cat I made by sponging some white linen card with Antique Linen Distress ink. I stamped the swirls on (QVC foam backed stamp), punched it using my Bind-it-all and ripped through the neatly punched holes so it looked like it had been torn out of a notebook. I finished this card off with some self adhesive pearls and a sheer ribbon bow.
Hope you like it :o)
Ciao for now!
