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

 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
