Gorjuss shabby chic challenge card ..

 

I made this card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge  This week is a sketch by Kathy and the please include was "shabby chic " 

Ive used nestibilities for the Gorjuss image mat and distressted and inked the edges..

The circle mat is also a nestie , but i have punched out circles on the scallops using a cropadile.

The sentiment is a whimsy stamp.

The gorjuss stamp was coloured using copics.

Ive simply decorated the inside of the card to match and used my fiskers threading water punch.The back is also decorated simply too - it just does'nt seem balanced for me otherwise !

Now since ive been blogging i have manage to accumulate rather alot of cards !

so ive decided to sell some .If you wish to purchase this card it also comes with a matching 

card box .

£5.00 which includes the post and packing.

Now i must dash as it was a toss up between posting this and watching "Desparate Housewives " (which im addicted to ) I missed last weeks so im having a double dose this week instead !!!

Wings of hope , a sneeky peek and a Creative Inspirations challenge card !

Its been nearly two weeks since i blogged - sorry folks x

I've had a hectic week , ive had a tummy bug and  to go with that  my 19 year old daughter has decided she hates me , ha ha ... I am hoping when she gets to twenty in a few months that might change as she is at the end of the "teen " stage " !

Well ... im hoping anyway ! 

I've often thought that if i had of known what having teenagers brings i would have definatly moved to a remote island somewhere !!! 

If your kids are just getting to thier teens , take my advice ... go now before you lose your sanity !!!!!!!

The good news is .. i have managed to do a quickie card ..
