Stampin up wild rose

Finally back to some stamping for a birthday card for my mums birthday this month... i made a bit of a mess with the chalk for the background but it blended better once I wiped with a tissue (after i took the photo of course!).....

I made the rose with versamark and chalk and cut out to layer.. added glossy accents to the white parts ofthe rose and leaves....

stamped frenchscript background and silhouette sentiments around the edges in black then added some versamark around the edge and chalk to blend (lol)

Birthday inspiration - notepad books

My Auntie (not really my Auntie but the closest I have to one), gave me a lovely notepad giftbook today for my 39th (GULP!) birthday. I haven't taken a photo of it but it immediately inspired me to make some.

The pad was huge yet I only had small ones in my craft supplies so I made small notepad/books...

I can see I will need to make lots of these for Christmas stocking fillers!

Thank you cards

I made four of the same thank you cards tonight to sendto people that helped me along the way to completing my diploma, my boss, my tutor etc..... I decided to use my new spellbinders nestabilities book die and made a rolled diploma.... nice and simple...
