A Fond Farewell... 2 Sketches 4 You!

I just had to enter a card for the 2 sketches 4 You ~ Fond Farewell last sketches...

I have always enjoyed Laura & Kazan creativity and I will miss their sketches so much but I am sure it takes a lot of hard work putting it all together and you are both such busy ladies.

Sadly I had a funeral to attend yesterday and so I created this card, using lots of goodies from papertrey ink. You might not be able to tell but I followed Kazan's sketch...lol! The papers are Webster's pages and I thought the colours went quite well although For the sentiment I had to mix two distress inks to get the colour I wanted. I've used natural seam binding didn't scrunch it or anything with a vintage button.

Many thanks for all the inspiration and creativity you have showered us with, you will be sadly missed by many. Good luck to you both, BiG HuGs Kim :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Craft Stamper.....

I am soo soo soo excited because this Friday 7th May is Craft Stamper's June 2010 issue, it's a special bumper celebratory issue too, as they are 10 years old this month and I started contributing to their fabulous magazine a year ago this month too... WOO HOO!!!

-There are eight extra pages of projects to enjoy

-There is a special Birthday Bonanza competition with £1200 worth of prizes up for grabs

-There is a retrospective feature looking back on ten years of the magazine

-The website is getting a new look and a new interactive gallery to which readers can upload their work.

Here's the card I made to celebrate, have a look at the other designer's fabulous birthday cards too:

This is my first collection of Webster's pages and boy are they yummy... I have stamped Tim's flourish with gold acrylic paint, love the effect. The frame is cut from chipboard covered with patterned paper and the edges inked with gold ink! It's a papertrey ink sentiment, one of my favourite's. The bird's have been fussy cut directly from the patterned paper and I have given them a generous spray of glimmer mist. To finish I have embellished with satin ribbon and Tim's pin and type charms.
 

Thank you so much for stopping by today, hope you enjoy a wonderful May Bank Holiday we are off to enjoy Dillon's school fair, hope the sun shine's...
