So I had to have a little break and managed to make my card for the LIM challenge which is 'One Layer with some Embossing' I had thought about it since Saturday, but my original idea which seemed a good one, didn't turn out that good. So thinking caps on and came up with this. I have stamped the Hobby Art Lady of Fashion in black and coloured her skin with Blush Promarkers. I added red glitter on her necklace and to tie in with that I stamped and heat embossed the Hero Arts sentiment in red.
Well, must get back to the packing. I hope the weather improves here and we can all enjoy some sunshine.
I have made a post holiday resolution - Get control of my life! I feel as if I have been on a roller coaster lately
time is just flying by and I never have a minute - and I don't think I am the only one in blogland saying this!!
It will be hard - DD will be home for the summer a couple of days after we get back and her bofriend is staying for a week before going to see his family, but the resolution stands.
I would just like to say 'hello' to a couple of new followers - I am absolutely thrilled that people want to follow me! I will pop by to say hello when I return from holiday as we are off tomorrow morning.
A couple of challenges for my card:
Crafty Cardmakers - Embossing
Divas by Design - One for the Girls
Thanks for looking,
Avril xx
