Black & White.

By
What a lucky girl I am - yesterday my husband went out to do a bit of shopping and he came home bearing gifts. He had bought me a set of stamps from the Papermania range called 'Tweet'. Now I love birds and birdcages so I had to stamp a card straight away and this is the result

The whole thing is stamped with a Memento ink pad - Tuxedo Black - and I used the branch from my Bird on a Branch set. To finish it off I raised the sentiment on some 3D foam pads and added some black satin ribbon. Although you can't see them on the photo there are some crystal hearts on the birdcage.
I was really pleased with this card and it really didn't take that long to make and I also think it will be perfect for the challenge over on Craft Your Days Away Challenges - the theme being 'Black and White'
Thanks for looking - see you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    Now that's what I call a proper present! I love birds and birdcages too and this is lovely. I really like the border you've made as well. I think you should give this card to your thoughtful husband!

    What a great hubby, you're a lucky lady. And this design is beautiful. I love the monochrome look, it puts the focus on the great artwork.

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

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
