Good afternoon everyone. I hope you've all been having a great weekend. I've had a productive day today, clearing out unwanted items for the charity shop. There's a bit more space in the house now - um, I wonder what I might fill it with!!
Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to
Linda for this wonderful award she has given to me. I am very honoured to receive it. If you haven't come across
Linda's blog then it is well worth a visit as she makes very beautiful cards.
The challenge over at
Stamptacular Sunday this week is "SHAPETACULAR Card!" you must make a card with an unusual, out of the ordinary shape.
I've made a pouch bag card, this uses 1 sheet of 12" x 12" paper, I got the idea from a TV show and have modified it slightly. A sheet of card goes inside with the greeting on it (I'll be putting some sweetie bars in too).
The paper I have used is Die Cuts With a View from a QVC kit. I used a Fiskars scalloped edge punch to for the handle and trim. The flower has been made using the Spellbinders Flower Creations 2 set, the petals have been inked with Brilliance ink which has a lovely pearlescent sheet, it is held together at the centre with a velvet brad. The sentiment is from the Magnolia Summer Club kit, I've stamped this in blue ink, clear embossed over it and then cut it out with a circle nestie, while it was still in the nestie I inked it over with pink ink.
Thank you for visiting my blog and for all your lovely comments.
Happy crafting!
