Thank you for the comments left on my blog for yesterday's card. Such fabulous words again - you really make me soooo chuffed! Now for today's card which was finished off yesterday ready for hubby to photograph - what a partnership!! I am going to enter this into two challenges - boy am I getting bold or what - the first one is Fab 'N' Funky - No 136 Based on a Sketch http://fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/. The second one is Ladybug Crafts - Anything Goes http://ladybugcrafts.blogspot.co.uk/.
I am really getting into the challenges now and, whereas before, I only made cards for occasions or commissions I now make them for challenges - this is the best fun in the world. I really do feel as if I have made sooo many friends out there - I might not have loads of followers but I do feel as if I know you ladies via our craftiness!! I don't think there is a nicer crowd than crafters!
Ooops orf on one again - here is my card
I am trying to use items I have bought and then 'filed' away for future use. I have 2/3 Sarah Kay stamps but saw some of her 'Rub-ons' on C&C and I thought they looked really good so I bought them. I used one and forgot about them. Blogging has made me realised I should use different things as well as different techniques. The nice thing about these rub-ons is that they have a matt finish and the edges blend in really well. There is one thing that I would change now and that is the way I have put the lace on - I think I could have done it a lot better - my ocd strikes again.
Ingredients :
6 x 6 paper from MME - freebie with a craft mag

I hope you like my card, thank you so much for stopping by, please mention me to your friends, I would love to have some more followers and - if I ever reach the magic figure of 50, I will be doing a BLOG CANDY!!! Mind you if that day looks a long time coming - I will do one sooner - now I'm giggling, do I sound desperate!!!
Hugs to you all my craft blog friends.

Really lovely card Sue. Why is it we are never satisfied with what we do? I am just the same - as soon as I see the finished product I think of things I should have done differently or something else I should have added. There's nothing wrong with your lace. Good luck with your challenges! Like you I'm starting to strike out a bit now and I've entered a couple. Have a greatt day. Christine x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, such a lovely card and as you know I too like Sarah Kay images, aren't they all so darn cute. Your design is fantastic and like Christine I cannot see anything wrong with your lace but we are always critical of our own work. Good luck with the challenges and I hope you are feeling ok today. Take care, hugs Christine H x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, what a sweet card, I like Sarah Kay images too..we used the stamps a lot when we first started teaching promarkers in our workshops. This particular little sweetie reminds me of Holly Hobby, when I was a child! Good luck with the challenges, Carole Z X

Hi Sue what a lovely card! I love these Sarah Kay images they remind me of the 70's when my daughter was a baby and toddler. I used to make mob caps for her using an LP (remember them?) as a pattern! Hugs Susan x

Hi sweetie,
ReplyDeleteIsn't the crafting world good! I too am so grateful for the lovely friends I have made through blogging and crafting, including yourself.
The layout for your card is lovely. The image looks like you've stamped it, I would never have guessed it was a rub on
All the best Linda xx
The lace works beautifully with this fantastic image.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie! Love it! So glad you could join us at Ladybug Crafts this month. Hope you will join in with us again next month.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Sharon
