Hello Friends!
Wow! This weekend is passing so quickly for me, but I have/am been a busy bunny!! You have to keep moving with the weather being so cold, or else have a large budget to keep the heating on!!
I was fortunate enough to win the Paperartsy stamp from my friend Miss Di at the Playground recently so I thought I would show you a couple of cards which I made to send to two of my Special friends!!
I know they have both been received now so I can show them to you.
The card bases were stamped with various Tim Holtz background stamps in several Distress Inks (don't ask me which I cannot remember) then a layer of cardstock (from the Snippets box) which had been distressed and inked were laid on top. I then took some cardstock on to which I stamped the stamp using Archival ink and then once dried, I used some of the same colours of the base card stamping and inked the image, distressed and inked the edges and laid on top of the previous piece, at a wonk.
Some trimmings from the Snippets box and my cards were finished. The mustard velvet ribbon on the first card was from my friend's Snippets box so I hope that is allowed Miss.
Right, I am just putting my coat and hat on and running over to the Playground, as I know my buddy Sandra is waiting for me to go on the seesaw with her!
Tally ho and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
TTFN

P.S. I have just been over the Playground and Miss is talking about catching some peeps drinking wine behind the bike shed. I can assure you that I am not one of them, having given up alcohol and Baileys!!!! for Lent!!

Absolutely gorgeous cards, one is still smiling at me from my desk here :)) Both so beautifully made. I adore the pleated ribbon - such a lovely finishing touch.
If you aren't in Mrs A's 'gang' then I believe that you weren't behind the bike shed glugging wine - she's such a BAD influence!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend hun.
Hugs, Di xx
Fabulous cards (well done on winning the stamp). Hope you had a fabulous time away...as for drinking wine behind the shed (and it not being you cos you've given up booze for lent)...come on...wine is a fruit so doesn't count!!!! :-)

Two gorgeous snippet makes Sam, love the pleated ribbon.You won't be interested in the bucket of homemade orange wine I have then....don't think it will last until after Lent lol. Carol x
These are great, love the tinting on the images, and cool crackle stamping in the backgrounds. Text-y heart is always going to beat ribbon for me, so number one wins!! Have a great week, Samantha!

Hi Hettie, great cards, bet your friends loved them.
I peeked behind the bike sheds but decided to stay on the swings lol!! Mind you, if this cold keeps up will need the gulf of warming alcohol :-)

Two lovely versions. Great use of snippets too. Elizabeth xx
Lovely cards and such a great use of that stamp too. Using others snippets now that is a thought maybe we ought to have a swap shop lol. No alcohol for me either, been teetotal for a few years now although the the thought of baileys on ice does make the mouth water lol. Hugs, Amanda x
Beautiful cards! Love the colors.
