Hi Everyone
I thought I was never going to get to be posting today .. .. .. that is what comes of trying to be a good daughter and wife.
I knew what I wanted to make and post today .. and managed to get it half made before I went to spend some time with my Mum and finished it off once I got home.
At Mum's I sat and put all the inserts into the cards I have been making over the last week or so .. .. and then once I got home I needed to get dinner ready super early as hubby was out tonight.
So hubby is now out and time is mine .. .. though I still have to clear up that messy kitchen .. .. boo hoo!!!
So here is the "day long" make that has been made in bits and bobs all day. It was inspired by a video over on the Hero Arts Blog here. You do need to scroll down through the post a bit to find it though .. .. but it is well worth a look.
Sadly I did not have all the right things to replicate what had been done .. so I made up my own version using what I did have.
My version used:
Manuscript stamp: Elusive "32531" Script Background
Scroll stamp: Basic Grey "Two Scoops" Swirlie Stamps
Backing Paper: Pink Petticoat
Cuttlebug snowflake die
Martha Stewart Punch: Stars
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Glamour Dust
Distress Inks: Wild Honey, Peeled Paint, Old Paper and Tea Dye for Stamping
Elzybells: White Sugar Candy Pigment Inkpad
Rangers Bridal Embossing Tinsel
Cord from the stash box
Make sure you pop over and watch the video .. .. it is brilliant.
Have a lovely evening everyone .. .. well what is left of it .. .. and I am off to clear up my messy kitchen LOL!!!
Love
