Bye Bye Little Truck

I'm really sad that Loads of Love and its Accessories set are on the retired list, after my starter kit, these two sets were in my first order two years ago. This is a set I won't part with so you may still see it on here, if you don't own then don't miss this last chance, its such a versatile set. For this card the little truck was stamped with Stazon and coloured with Watercolour Wonder Crayons using the aquapainter. The patterned paper is from the Cottage Wall set, which is also retiring at the end of the month. Email at stampinwithjo@hotmail.com to place your order today.

Sketch & Stash Challenge 29

This card is my entry into the Sketch and Stash challenge for this fortnight, you can find details here. The new stash used in this challenge was the old olive designer paper, which has been waiting on my desk for a project. I chose to use the Loads of Love sets as the main image as these have been sadly neglected recently. The card was finished off with some Bravo Burgundy ribbon.

Back From Hols

As we were driving around the whole country we were really lucky and managed to miss the rain thats been about and actually get on a beach and sunbathe! Today's card has a male feel as my card were getting a bit too girly. the main image is stamped in Always Artichoke and then re-stamped with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder ( made possible by the super stamp-a-ma-jig). The embellishment is made from a piece of silver Hodgepodge Hardware threaded with linen thread. Everything for this card is from Stampin' Up!
