Hope all is well in your creative world...
Here is a simple card I made at the weekend with my new Inkadinkado clear stamp. It is rather childish compared to the gems that you lovely ladies produce out there. But I have an excuse - since I make cards to donate I need volumes, hence cannot spend too much time on one card. Sounds convincing, doesn't it? So that is my answer for not working so hard on my cards. Lol!
The gemstones that I have used are actually tiny "bindis" - the stuff that Indian ladies wear on their forehead.
I have got permission from my younger one's school to host a charity card sale on this coming Thursday and Friday - so am working away. Happily for sure!!!
Am entering this card in the following challenges as well:
www.thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/ - anything goes
www.ellephantasticchallenges.blogspot.com/ - blue
www.fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com/ - clean and simple
www.michelle-pinkpaperparadise.blogspot.com/ - not a challenge but a no - pressure inspirational weekly linky party.
Love,
Monica
Hello Monica. This is absolutely beautiful. Love the design and the colour. Dont you put yourself down, we dont all have stacks of money to spend. You make fabulous cards and you are such a warm-hearted and kind lady to donate them all to charity. Good for you sweetie.

Hi Monica
ReplyDeleteWow, nothing childish about this card at all! Very striking. Love the blue and white colour combo. It all co-ordinates so well the way that the ribbon has dots just like the embossing.
Lovely layout too.
Thanks for linking up to Make It Monday this week.
