Birthday Card for Louise

By
I am having problems with my camera at the moment so I'm afraid I won't have a card for the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown Challenge - but please do hop over there in the morning as there will be some fabulous cards created by the dt.

It was  Louise's birthday this week - Louise is a very good friend of mine so I made this card for her


This is a centre step card made from Crumb Cake card stock and the sides have been stamped with the border image from Summer Silhouettes. The main panel has been stamped with more images from the same set and mounted on to Midnight Muse card stock - one of the new In Colours.
I love these new stamps and on this card I have also used the new colour Gumball Green. Stampin' Up have recently improved their ink pads and they now stamp even better - great for the technique I have used on this card. I stamped the leaves on my card stock and then stamped again before re-inking - this gives a lovely feeling of perspective to the finished scene.


Materials
Stamps: Summer Silhouettes
Ink: Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Crumb Cake (sponged around the edge of main panel)
Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Midnight Muse, Naturals White.
Other: Pearls
(all the above and more can be ordered through me and delivered direct to your door - peruse the catalogue in the side bar and click the tab at the top of the page to place an order).

This was a card that I had up-loaded to my lap top before the demise of my camera - hopefully I shall be back soon when it's mended, have a great weekend - Jacqueline xx

    That is absolutely gorgeous Jacqueline. How lucky Louise is to have a friend like you. Hope you get a new camera soon. Sometimes I use my phone but the photos aren't always as clear. Hugs to you! D

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...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.

However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
