I have been busy stamping and colouring images to be made into cards, but it took me until today to make some of these up.
The post I am doing tonight is a card I started to make when my friend Sue came round my house a couple of weeks ago to 'play', but I didn't finish this until today as I had not added a sentiment and it needed one to fill in the gap.
I used the winestool Nicky stamp from Ladybug Crafts Ink, she has been stamped in Memento black and coloured with Copics, I have used the Nestabilities to cut and emboss the frame and this has been sponged with some pale purple ink to match the backing paper (which I borrowed from Sue - so sorry I can't remember what make this is.) She has been mounted on some soft green Bazill, and I have used a really nice patterned paper that I bought from QVC - it was a scrapbook set and it was massive, so I am still using loads of the bits, this was also cut out with the Nestabilities. The sentiment is an Elzybell stamp as is the tag. I have coloured around this with my Mauve Shadow Copic and added Stickles in stardust. The flowers are from Prima, the centre is an epoxy dot also from Ladybug Crafts Ink and the dark purple ribbon was 'borrowed' from Sue's stash.
This just goes to show what I can do when I have a friend to help:) I struggle with the design side of card making so it is great when Sue and I get together as I always end up with something I would never have done on my own - mainly because I am still quite nervous composing a card unless I am just matting and layering in straight lines, and because Sue has just got such a great eye.
Right - I am off to bed, otherwise I won't be any good at work tomorrow. I will post again soon (hopefully!).
