Phoenix Inspirations

This is a card I made a while age when Louise came round to craft - don't know why it's taken me so long to blog it but it's come in very handy as I am too busy to do anything else at the moment. I got the tutorial from the resources section on Splitcoast Stampers - i found it very easy to follow and I'm very pleased with the results - take a look All the card stock is from my stash drawer and probably years old (!) but the stamp set is the S'U Good Neighbors (still haven't given it back to Bev wonder if she's forgotten I've got it mwahahaha!) - it's stamped in Creamy Caramel and More Mustard inks. Here's what happens if you pull the ribbon And here's a couple of close ups of the sentiments Thanks for looking - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

I have just taken possession of a fabulous new stamp set - Up, Up & Away. It's a gorgeous set with balloons galore, take a look at the card I have made with it I've chosen mainly primary colours for this - Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise and Real Red and I have also followed this week's sketch over on  Retro Sketches The images of the houses are from the retired set Good Neighbors which I have stolen from my friend Beverley - she doesn't know it yet but she's not getting it back mwahahahaha. There are two more challenges I'd like to enter this card into, firstly  Crafty Cardmakers  - this week my great friend Mynnette is the hostess and as it was her birthday this month she chose the subject 'Birthday Balloon Bonanza' And then lastly I hope I can squeeze it into the  Polka Doodles  challenge where they are celebrating their 3rd birthday and want to see '3' of something - I have used 3 balloons and 3 flowers on my card...
