Fresh Card

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the absence, life's been a bit hectic! Unfortunately, no-one left a comment to my last post, so there was no blog candy winner. But I have a new card for you today. This card was designed by Marelle Taylor (she truly is a genius), it uses the new stamp set Fresh Cuts. I really enjoy the sponge dauber technique, it allows for such elegance with such ease!

I made this card for a friend's Jungle Baby Shower on the weekend. I used the Bundle of Joy stamp set, which is retired unfortunately. But I did something a bit tricky with the sentiment, can you guess how I did it? Here's a close up. (Sorry it's a bit blurry.)

You've got until Monday 22nd of June to work it out and post a comment and then I'll randomly chose one correct response for some blog candy! Good luck!

Can you believe it's half way through June already! Where does the time go!?

A couple of my daughter's friends were baptised last month and these are the gifts I made for them. I thought it would be nice to have a keepsake and so the idea for these was born. I hope they like them!

I stamped the letters from the Jumbo Outline Alphabet straight onto designer series paper and then cut them out. I printed the bible verses onto Whisper White cardstock and popped up with dimensionals. I added ribbon and coloured cardstock to match the papers and then bought frames (and the lovely man at the shop put them in for me).
