Sketch 2

We are showcasing ART IMPRESSIONS stamps this week, you don't have to use them, but if you have them we would love to see them  :-)


As always Heidi will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!



Sketch No 1 
used Girlfriends 

This is quite a large stamp so I had to move the sentiment around a bit :-)

I only made this card this morning !! I had the idea to use the parasol design from the Silhouette Studio as the circle element of the sketch so then I just HAD to ignore the hoover and the sink full of pots ,, the ironing ,,, and make this :-) It was worth it tho eh ,,,, this will be for my friends 50th birthday which is in a few weeks, she never reads my blog so am pretty safe I think :-)

I am the one in the purple swimsuit, Mariella ( birthday girl ) is in yellow, Charlie is in turquoise and Becky is in pink ,,:-)

AND

Sketch No 2
used Birthday Whoot, so very cute :-)

The papers are Lawn Fawn Daphne’s Closet and were in the March Card Kit which has now sold out !
The banner is a sticker that was also in the kit. I adhered this onto card before fussy cutting to give it more strength. I will link all the products I used at the bottom of this post
