Thank You!

 This card was made as a thank you card for Val, a crafty friend I met when I first started this journey into paper and ink.
 I had bought this stamp set months ago and was eager to use it. I think it would be great on canvas too.

  All the colouring on this card is done with Faber-Castell Gelatos. I also tried some doodling; the black circles with white gel pen centres. The flowers are a stamp from this set; stamped twice on book print paper then cut out. Added some pink tulle under the bling on the orange flower on her waist.

  The ribbon is Hug Smug Seam Binding inked in DI colours to match the card. I stamped her on plain paper and then cut her out and glued her on book print paper.

  I wish I could say I drew the birds and the branch, but it was already on the paper! I just added some colour. 

The inside

The back. This sentiment is part of the stamp set.

  This is the stamp set. I purchased it at my local paper craft store, The Cutting Garden.

  This is the paper I used for the background of both the card and the tag. It's from the Basic Grey Serenade set. This particular 12x12 sheet is called "50 pence". I also purchased this at The Cutting Garden.

Simon Says Stamp and Show: The stamp you love (but don't use)

  I have been feeling "pookie" as my mum used to say. Have that hateful cold/cough that's going around. It's on it's way out...I hope! Have a creative week everyone. Thanks for stopping by!

i made it myself!
