CASual Text

Hi - sorry I've been somewhat MIA this week - it's been a bit hectic around here and I had a lot of orders to complete - one of which fits this week's CASual Friday text theme so I'm squeezing in an entry before the challenge closes tomorrow.    This is a commission for someone whose husband is a mad keen cyclist so the sentiment really fits:


The text was created in word and printed and I added a little bling to the 50.  I stamped a row of bicycles using a prima mini stamp using shadow stamping to create a feeling of movement.  I added a little colour to the main image of the bike with pencils.  I finished with a little green wire bike embelishment and a tiny heart.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the lovely comments on my first project acceptance for Paper Crafts Mag - I think I've finally calmed down after all the excitement of finding out on Friday.

Right time to make another card before bath and an early bed.

  2. Great card Tara - Amsterdam came straight to mind here :) Thanks for the wise words about that book - it isn't uber precious, and am going to Google bag books, or was it book bags. Will recheck your comment :) Di xx
