Tom (son-in-law) asked me to make him a card for his mum's birthday last week and then forgot to take it. (men can't multi-task!)
It had to be simple, have flowers on it and be about shopping, which is his mum's favourite thing in all the world to do.
By now I hope Christine has received her birthday card, and anyway, (I whisper) I'm quite sure she doesn't pop in here.

I've used Pink Petticoat Papers. A freebie stamp and wording, which came with last month's issue of Creativity Magazine, usually found in your local (miles away for me) Do-Crafts crafty shop. I've added a little bag charm, a flower embellishment, pearls, a few fern leaves, (MS Punch) ribbon and some Stickles Glitter, then coloured the image with ProMarkers of course!
I had a bit of trouble stamping this image as all my acrylic blocks are a little too short for this stamp. I usually use a CD case, but that's not too good either. So I opened my packet of DoveCraft blocks, (Prize!) which are in the style of the famous rocker block. The longest one of these wasn't really long enough or wide enough either and
I found that the edges got inked up too, which marked the card when you stamped, or the image didn't stamp very well, but after a couple of goes, the image wasn't too bad, but not perfect. (Time to get a longer acrylic block Lyn)

ReplyDeleteSuper card and I love shopping. Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHiya Lyn - love this card - the soft colours are gorgeous. Great image for a shopaholic friend!If you have a plastic (acrylic type) box (or lid) which is rigid and smooth, it's ideal as a temporary acrylic block - the large ones can be quite expensive to buy. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Super fun card! Thanks for sharing wit us at Party Time Tuesdays.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I'm here from Inspiration Ave, a challenge I participate in each Friday. You did a super job stamping with what you have. But, if the CD case isn't big enough, how big IS that stamp? It's sure a cute card, though. And I personally think you did a super job!
