I didn't get time to play yesterday as I was at St Luke's "Summer" Fair (I use quotation marks as summer was very far from Sheffield yesterday - we couldn't get the gazebo up for the strong winds and it was a pretty disappointing day all round.
We've had rubbish weather again tonight and we've just got soaked to our pants while we tried to unblock the drains before the kitchen flooded - it's been one of those weekends all round :(
Anyhow, I managed 10 minutes to make a quick thank you card for my friend who sat for 6 hours in the cold and rain with me at the fair and I used the LIM challenge to do it with.
I don't know who made the set of stamps I used but there are a variety of lovely flourish designs in it - I chose a "straight" one to create a frame for my simply thanks greeting which is by Waltzingmouse. I stamped it in pink and added a little stickles to the dots in the design. Very quick and simple but I think it speaks for itself.
I won't get much time for crafting this week but I have a few projects to share while I'm busy preparing for one of our best friend's 40th Birthday party this weekend. We are crossing everything that the long range forecast of an even worse weekend next weekend is very very wrong........
Fabulous flourishes, Tara. And your WMS sentiment goes perfect with them. Love the colours, too x
ReplyDeleteLove the flourishes- great card.
ReplyDeleteOoh what a fabulous design, Tara, can't believe this took just 10 minutes to make, it looks much more special than that. CoB

Love the colour! great card
ReplyDeleteHi Tara, What a shame you were washed out it was a dreadful weekend weatherwise:{ Your card is beautiful, the colours fit nicely and the sentiment is just right, what delicious flourishes too! The trouble with clear stamps is that they never really stop curing! Well that's what Mr Paper Artsy, Malcolm told me at a show last year so I doubt that you mistreated your stamp! xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat card. The colours are great and I like the way you've filled the space, but still kept it simple.
ReplyDeletecheers,
