Happy Sunday Stampers. I hope everyone is having a great day. The Stampin' Up! Alphabet Show is having a break today - the ringmaster has gone AWOL lol ! But she will be back tomorrow with the letter H.
I just wanted to show you one of the cards I made yesterday afternoon. I had a great time, and got really messy with inks, as I said I would. But those cards are for the Alphabet show and have to come later.
It's really cold here today - not nice at all. The temp is not much above freezing. I even turned the heating up a bit. Thank goodness we have the central heating. I can remember, as a child, having to huddle around the fireplace to get warm. Our bedrooms were freezing. We take so much for granted these days.
Now, on to today's card. I used a Hostess set to make this card, but unfortunately it's a retired set. Such a pity - it's a lovely set of stamps. It's called Organic Grace. You may be able to pick one up on ebay if you're lucky. So why am I showing you a stamp set that's retired ? Well...I made the card, so you get to see it !
The base card is Whisper White, and I used the huge Polka Dot background stamp on another piece of WW card for one of the layers. I stamped the leaves and the sentiment on WW card, stamped & coloured the flowers, cut them out and shaped them a bit before sticking them on with silicone glue.
I used the Eyelet Border punch, and my white gel pen went crazy making dots everywhere. I really need to hide that pen away - it has a life of it's own.
I am going to have a little browse on the Internet now. I have blogs to visit and comment on. I'm so behind in my browsing hehe. Then I will play with my stamps while I have the chance. (Stamping is an addiction, isn't it ? ) Monday will be here soon enough and then my life gets back to it's crazy pace.
The children all left straight after lunch. My daughter's car has a flat battery, so my son has gone with her to collect it and charge it for her. Nothing worse than car trouble, is there ? I hope they get it sorted out. He thinks her battery is dead, and I know she can't afford a new one *sigh*.
Have a great Sunday. Hope you get some crafting done. Go on...get off the computer and get your stamps out. You know you should !
