The Adventure Begins...

I've been working on a new proposition behind the scenes for Brides to be which I know they will absolutely love, so my card today has a really apt sentiment!  It's been a busy week writing newspaper articles, preparing a fundraiser for my son's nursery & making things for my stall at the Craftettes Summer Fair.  So it has been lovely to get back to the pleasure of making a card.

I've used the Adventure Awaits stamp set, it retires on 2 June 2015.   I've really enjoyed using it in both my card making and scrapbook layouts so had to get this card onto my blog before it vanishes.  I've used Gold Encore to burnish the camera die cut and the arrow.

Tomorrow I am holding my customer appreciation event and new catalogue launch open house.  I've been busy preparing lots of samples to show my customers with some of the new stamp sets and the 5 fabulous new in colours - I've totally fallen in love with them!

Will be back next week with some snaps of my open house event and the samples I made, thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend.

Dreaming of holidays...

Can you tell I have been dreaming about my holidays?  It's less than a month away and I am very giddy!  So I've been playing about with a watercolour background and using sea salt.  The salt soaks up some of the ink and creates a mottled effect which I absolutely love.   This stamp set, Adventure Awaits, retires on 2 June 2015 so you need to hurray with your order if you want one, I use it all the time on my cards and also my 12x12" scrapbook layouts.  In this case I have used white Staz-on and stamped the image onto some window sheet and mounted it with see-through pop dots.  I free cut the fish from the Adventure Bound paper stack and then just threaded the fish onto the linen thread using a darning needle.  Back later in the week with some more cards made with this stamp set, thanks for stopping by.
