Make My Monday - Pink and Black

By
Good morning - it's Monday and that means another challenge over on the Make My Monday challenge blog. This week Caz has chosen our theme and she wants to see cards or projects using the colours


Here is my card


I have used a stamp today that I have never used before (hanging my head in shame), what's more it's retired and unfortunately not available any more however, that's no reason not to use it!
It's from last year's Hostess selection 'Simply Soft'. the flower branches were stamped in black Stazon ink onto Rose card stock, the flowers were then coloured with a white gel pen - this gave them a lovely pale pink colour. The card was then mounted on to black and a sentiment added.

All materials are Stampin' Up
Stamps: Simply Soft (retired), Love and Sympathy 
Ink: Black Stazon
Card Stock: Whisper White, Regal Rose, Basic Black
Accessories: White Gel Pen
(All Stampin' Up products can be ordered through me and delivered direct to your door - please see the top tabs - thank you).

I made my daughter very happy yesterday as I bought her the DVD Skyfall - she's been home form uni this weekend. My son also returned after a week away so I have had a full house and four for Sunday lunch - it was just like old times!

Don't forget to visit the challenge blog and take a look at the beautiful work this week from the DT and I will see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Beautiful Jacqueline. Simply Soft is one of my favorite stamp sets ... and I usually color them with the marker layering effect. But the white gel pen on the colored cardstock is so striking!! Must give that a try! Thanks for inspiring. Loll xx

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.
