Evening Folks
Hope you all had a good Saturday. Went out with my Mum this morning to Coleman's Craft Warehouse at Rushden. They were holding one of their demo weekends. Had a great time looking round and hunting out the bargains. Got a few new stamps that were reduced and some yummy papers and embellishments that just jumped into my basket. But it was so busy and quite hot in there. Had to keep going outside to cool off. Of course, this was due to the temperature in there and nothing to do with my age and these little hot flushes I keep getting lol. Afterwards we stopped off for a yummy pub lunch.
Here is the little card I created when I got back using some of my new goodies. I went with the colours of pink and purple (although this photo does not really show the colours at their best, still not the best lighting conditions at the moment). This fits with the current challenge at I Love promarkers which it to use Purple and Pink - two colours I love.
The cute little elephant was acquired today. He was actually part of a freebie stamp set that came with Creative Stamping magazine issue 3 which I bought today. He is just so cute and jumped out at me. Simply coloured in promarkers and some faux stitching added around the edges before being matted onto a paper doily. The pink card is coredinations and the yummy papers were all in my stash box. Did some faux stitching around all the layers. Added a lovely pink ribbon and ribbon rose as embellishments. Also some card candy to the bottom corners.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Sketch N Stash - #79 new stash - stamp and ribbon flower, old stash - papers, ribbon, candy
