Hi Everyone
I hope you have had a good Monday so far .. .. and aren't missing the Olympics too much.
It seemed quite sad to see them end last night don't you think?
I enjoyed the opening ceremony more than last night's (not that it stopped us staying up until all hours last night though as it was still good). I thought Jessie Jay was fantastic. She was the star performer of the night for me. That is what you call a voice !!!
Just a quick share from me today .. .. in fact it might be a week of quick makes as I have a mountain of stuff to battle through.
Lisa at Wishcraft Cards Blog has posted a couple of cards recently using some brilliant digi images and I wombled over to the store (as you do) to find they were on offer .. .. so as always here I am sharing another offer. You will find the images here.
Lisa's versions are much more involved and layered than mine .. .. hope you get chance to take a look .. .. but this is my version:
This used:
Image/Sentiment: Pink Gem Designs "Keep Calm and Drink Wine" (the pre-coloured version from the download)
Backing Paper: Pink Petticoat (Black pinstripes printed onto Kraft card)
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Ribbon, cord and charm from the stash box
You might struggle to replicate the backing paper I have produced though. You need to use a printer that has just about ran out of black ink .. .. hence the patchy bits at the top of the card .. .. but I liked the look so still used what I had printed.
Mmmm.. .. I have a few friends who would like this card on their birthday. What does that tell you about my socialising habits LOL!!!
Have a great evening everyone.
Time to get my printers on overdrive now (but not the one running out of black ink .. .. my happy couples wouldn't be happy for very long if I used that one).
Love

This is brilliant - and would be great for my daughter - not that she needs any encouraging to drink wine. I think she would love it as a big poster in the kitchen actually.

Hi Jules, Feel forever since I called :( Blame Olympics and Sunshine....lol
Thanks for calling by..The Big Hat saying is maybe very northern..not sure! I think it meant you could hide your face from the bullies etc......lol
Love The card, The image is great and love the paper and Stitching.
Hugs Mau xx
Love it Jules!
The backing paper looks fab - I used to have a printer that would let you keep using cartridges when they were out of ink - with some brilliant results - but my new printer just won't let me keep printing which is a shame.
And how clever to use kraft card! I wouldn't've thought of that!
Great card all round!
