Simply Stampin' Sketch

By
It feels like it's been a while since I have blogged - my last few posts were scheduled as I have been away and  now that I am back I am preparing for the Jubilee weekend. I am up to my eyeballs in bunting, fairy cakes and acrylic paint - but more on that story later.

The card I have made to show you today covers a lot: firstly it was made for the Mid-week Motivation for this week's Make My Monday challenge. It also follows the sketch over on this week's Simply Stampin' blog


And finally I had to make a Thank You card as I am making a presentation over the weekend to a lady who is retiring - whew - here is the card


Stamps used: S'U Baby Blossoms and Just Believe
Inks: Old Olive, Blushing Bride and Regal Rose.

I'm off now to paint the Queen's hat! - Jacqueline xx

    I loved it on the MMM blog yesterday and I love it here today... these flowers are so beautifully coloured and it's a really clever technique. Good luck with your Jubilee preparations!

    Oh my word, so soft, pretty, feminine and delicate - but clean and crisp too! What a gorgeous card - looking at it makes me want a cuppa in a bone china teacup! Fab fussy cutting too!
    Thanks for joining us at Simply Stampin' Jacqueline and I look forward to you playing along with us again soon!

    Such a pretty, feminine card Jacqueline! Nice use of embossing to create the frame. I love this stamp set, it was such a shame it was retired. Thanks for playing along with this week's Simply Stampin' Challenge! Kirei x

    wow, this must have taken you ages, all that cutting, I'm so sad that I didn't get this set last year, but glad to see it used again. A wonderful card that I'm sure anyone would be grateful to receive.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
