No, you're not seeing things

It really is Saturday!

So I threw this card together for my DH's grandmother's birthday. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I only spent an hour on it and it looks a lot better than most cards I've done recently. Clearly I need to make all cards in a hurry!

The stamp is from Joanna Sheen and has been sat in a drawer neglected for years. I've co-ordinated with some DP by My Minds Eye. I've coloured with copics and used a Bazzil jewels template. The tape across the middle is from Anna Griffin and the flowers are Ladybug and Friends.

I'm sooo going to be using my jewel template again - love it!!!

That's about it for today. Nice short post. Going to a BBQ at my dad's tomorrow. No doubt there will be some interesting anedotes to share with you.

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon...(probably on Wednesday - LOL!)

Friday Sketchers 86 & Cute Card Thursday Challenge 96 : Fairy Fantastic

Wow, I can't believe it, but my hubby took Ben out to see his grandparents to 3 hours so I was free to get some crafting done! 3 hours of pure bliss whilst it was odd being seperated from him for the first time since he was born, it was also the first time I've been able to relax.

I siezed the opportunity to make a card using the Friday Sketchers sketch and combined it with the Cute Card Thursday Challenge of Fairies. I used the beautiful Fairy Song stamp from Ladybug and Friends and coloured with watercolours. The papers are from My Mind's Eye. (freebie with this month's cardmaking and papercraft magazine - hurrah!) Prima flowers, Anita's crystals (birthday present from the lovely Jen. aka the other fickle pixie) and sentiment from Craftwork cards.

I hope you like it. One day I'll invest in a daylight lamp and will be able to take some half decent photos. It's Linda's birthday tomorrow so I've decided to give it to her. Fingers crossed she wont see this post before then, but considering she's not blogged since October, I may be ok...
