Back to Card Making!

Hi Everyone! Well after a weeks absence from sickness, I ventured into the craft room last night and started to create again, although finding a little hard to find my feet, but I am sure that by then end of the week I will have that mojo back.

So today's card I broke out my Papertrey Ink stamps again, I started with white card stock for the card, folded in half and set aside. I then cut a piece of Papertrey Ink, Raspberry Fizz card stock slightly smaller then the card front. I stamped a leaf from the Papertrey Ink, Turning a New Leaf with Versamark Ink in different directions on the raspberry fizz card stock, making sure that all the card stock was covered to form a background image. I heat set the Versamark Ink and then with Papertrey Ink, Big & Bold Wishes, I stamped a sentiment and the matching flourish with black ink over the top of the leaf background. Lastly, I added some pink rhinestones to the end of the sentiment to finish the card.

Here is another view of the card.

Also I have a little share for you today, this photo was taken quite a few months ago, one of the very first pieces of furniture that Darryl built me for my craft room. However, some things in this photo have changed a little bit, hence more stamps and more products underneath and a new trimmer. Just thought that I would give you a little sneak peek into what I am hoping to have more photos uploaded for you to have a look at in the next coming weeks, my room just needs a little tweaking and a little cleaning and straightening and I will take some before shots then once I have holidays at the end of September and I paint my room out, I will have the after shots for you.

I hope you like what you see today and that this little inspiration that both myself and Darryl have created, spurs you on for bigger and better things.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, I am heading back to work tomorrow, so wish me luck in not having a coughing fit whilst I am at work.

Hugs for now!

JOY
