The Power of Two

So glad I've finished my other job for the week, its been horrible. Staff numbers are being reduced in December, and we are all feeling emotional. My job is safe - for now, thank goodness!

Lying awake in the early hours of the morning, I sometimes get inspiration and I just HAD to have another play with Zoo Babies (130453), Retro Sketches, Wild Things for The Paper Players and SUO Challenges too, for "a favourite sentiment".

I picked the Zebra and Toucan this time, stamped the World Map (130342) image before reinking my old Basic Black stamp pad, and the wildlife were stamped after the reinking. I used a Stampin Write in Basic Black so that I could selectively ink the sentiment (because I couldn't fit the whole thing in a banner and it seemed to take too much room in full too.

I've chosen another bright shade, Tangerine Tango and Epic Day DSP (130814) is the layer behind the World Map. The frame is Textured Impressions Designer Frames (123130), this one is the rectangle with the centre torn out; there is an oval shape in that set too.

I still have some of my free Sale-a-bration buttons left, so I popped a Pool Party one on, tied with matching Bakers Twine.

I think this card would make a quirky engagement/wedding/anniversary card, for the right couple!!
Does anyone agree?


Happy crafting everyone

Hi, Hello There!

Have you used Canvas Creations on page 156 of the catalogue yet? I have made some card fronts for an October class and was trying to find something small for the left over pieces, when it occurred to me to make mini letter banners for a card.

I have stamped 'HI' with Morning Post Alphabet onto the canvas using Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry. Just love the way the script on the letters shows through. I took my color-cue from the Epic Day DSP and cut some of the shapes using the Hearts a Flutter Framelits, and hand cutting others. After adding some brads to a couple of the banners, I adhered them over Baker's Twine (which isn't visible after all that!) and finished off with hello there from the Happy Day stamp set.

I'm spending a few days near St Ives, Cornwall at the moment with my dear husband
Feel free to leave a hello for me here, and thank you for visiting.
