DT CARD - LADY ANNE'S STAMP ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE NO 8


Hello mes amies - I feel as if I have been away for soooo long!  Well - we (I am using the Royal 'we' here) have decorated the kitchen - as you may guess I was supervising and also 'snagging' the job!  Such a good thing that Graham is used to me - lol!  He always asks me if he's missed any bits - so I am only obeying!  He's made it look really sunny and cheerful.  Lurve it!!!

Anyway this is another card for Lady Anne's Stamp Anything Goes Challenge - it runs from 1 May to 4 June and the prize will be a set or sets of rubber stamps to the value of $15 from Red Rubber Designs.  You can use either a rubber stamp or a digi stamp for your design so please take part.  Oh and don't forget to read the few rules and have fun.

This is my card


 I know it won't be to everyone's taste, I was unsure about the background paper but decided to go ahead and add some green and a smidgen of sparkle to it!  The sentiment was on and off so many times it knew where to go in the end!! lol! 

INGREDIENTS 

A5 White Card Blank
Rubber Stamp - Milk Churn with flowers from Red Rubber Designs
Backing Paper and Ribbon  - Create and Craft (no name)
Grand Nestabilities - Labels One
Martha Stewart Edge Punch
Square gems from Papermania Mosaic stones
Sentiment - LOTV NEW Sketch Pad General Sentiments Set 8
Flourishes from my 'bit' box
Promarkers
Crystal Stickles
Charm from stash

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you take part in the Challenge, and if you have left a comment you are a star.  Even if you haven't the time to leave a comment I still lurve you! 

Big hugs to you all.

I might be back to add my card to a few challenges - but then again I might forget!

  21. Another beautiful card, Susie! I was going to ask if this was done on watercolor paper because of the awesome texture, and gorgeously blended colors, but then read that it is white CS and promarkers. Very pretty! Lovin' the halo around the flowers, and the pretty green lightly shaded around the die cut. Did you hand cut the green piece under the stamped panel? It's a nice size for layering - not as large as the labels usually are. If so, it was a marvelous job fussy cutting! The green flourishes with the glitter are beautiful! LOVE those flourishes - and the saying is perfect for the card, and perfectly positioned. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who "moves the furniture around" on the card front. Thank you for your very sweet e-mail this morning. What a delightful message to awaken to. I am now a follower of your dear blog, both in Blog Lovin' and Google Connect. hugs, de
