Sold another six cards to two ladies and have met my target

Hello sweet bloggers,

I have sold enough cards to provide for educating five children for one year... Yaaaay!!! :-) Much credit goes to my blog buddies for all love and encouragement that kept me motivated. And of course I cannot forget the support of kind friends, neighbours, acquaintances who bought the cards.
This morning, I went to a Christmas bazaar and guess what I got from there - Fiskars clear stamps and pretty ribbons. So are two quick cards supposedly (supposedly masculine) that I made with one of the stamps. Stuck buttons, ribbon and did some scoring and that's it.



Next time I will try and colour in the stamps to make the card look more alive.

Love,
Monica

This card is lovely! You could ease yourself into the coloring bit... use a sparkle marker to color in a few areas, maybe just a few dots of color... :) I love how the bows and buttons pop.

Hi Monica - this is a great card - the monochrome is really effective and matching the ribbons and buttons is fab.
