Well, had such a brilliant day at Ally Pally yesterday, with my great friend, Lesley, and bought a ton of lovely goodies! Met up with loads of lovely people too, including Alex (Eisbaerin), met Jacqui aka Cat's Whiskers who was demoing on the Whiff of Joy stall. Fab colouring skills! Katharina from Whiff of Joy of course- so lovely to see all the stamps in one place!! Also met Lousette Ashton who creates for Craft Stamper magazine - sorry we interrupted your lunch!! Oh, and also met my long time crafting Cyber sister, the lovely Laura (Fairielore)! Yayyhh - so nice to finally meet you, sweet, even though it was only for a few minutes! Looks like I missed a load more lovely peeps too, who I would have loved to say hello to - next time!
Anyway, I've been working on this card for a few days, just a bit each night but couldn't quite find the finishing touch. Then I bought this lovely Water Lily Punch by Martha Stewart yesterday which seems perfect.
I love its 3D design!! I coloured Daisy with Distress Inks, embossed the background mat with my Daisy CB folder and then layered it up with this pretty Blue daisy paper. The pink borders are another fabbie MS punch and the leaves are a sizzix die. The card is for my stock so will add sentiment when I know who it's going to.
I'm entering this for the following challenges:
Everybody Art - Sketch
Quixotic Paperie - The Joys of Spring
Simon Says - A Card for a Child
That's it from me today, can't decide whether to keep crafting or start packing up my room for it's make over!! Mammoth task!
