You're So Amazing!

Hey friends! So it rolls around again and another week is starting...time is just flying by isn't? I hope that you have all enjoyed your weekend and got plenty of time to get crafty or at least have some relaxation time.

I spent yesterday cleaning the house and squeezing in a little crafty time myself..to which is the card that I am sharing with you today.

I made this for a friend that is currently going through a tough time..I thought that the cheery colours would hopefully brighten her day.

I took some My Minds Eye patterned paper, trimming to size and sewing around the edge, adhering to a white card. Next, taking the stamp set Sew Stylish, stamping the measuring tape onto more My Minds Eye patterned paper and one of the ladies from the same set onto other My Minds Eye patterned paper, trimming around the stamped measuring tape and the clothing of the lady. Stamping the lady once again, onto white card stock, adhering the clothing and colouring the skin parts in with Copics, trimming around the lady and adhering both the measuring tape and lady to the card. Finally, adding a stamp sentiment to the card from the same stamp set and buttons to complete the card.

Once again another set that has not seen much use and have had fun creating.. serving a double purpose, creating for fun and for also hopefully cheering my friends day.

Okay before I start my day, I just wanted to add a little reminder that there is still time to enter my first challenge..you can view all the details HERE...or at the top of my blog...cannot wait to see what you all have created and who you have honoured, I hope that you can all find some time to honour that special crafter that inspires you regularly.

Enjoy your day!

Hugs
