Not for me

 Good evening blogworld,

This is not for my anniversary - I've still got the card that I didn't give him this year put away for next year.  This purely made for fun and joining in with challenges.

So how's your week been going? Mine has been pretty quiet, which is nice really after half-term chaos last week. The biggest event in our world is that TTT's flute teacher has changed - the new lady is 'more organised and just as nice', so we're told, as the previous lady! Em's done pretty well with flute - she's quite a musical kid - and played cello and recorder at Primary School but dropped them when she moved into Secondary.  Then she chose the flute last September, in Year 9, when she picked options for GCSE and one of her choices was music for which you need an instrument.  She's just about to take her Grade 3 which to me, who enjoys music but is not musical as such, seems to have been quite quick progress. Am I right, or just a biased mum??

So enough waffle, time to share a different thing - my card!

Supplies Used:

Rubber Stamps:

Stamping Bella - Lovey Gnomes

Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips : Background

Dies:

Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips : Rounded

un-branded heart

Whimsy Stamps - Zig Zag Edger Die Set

Anything else:

Papermania - Hampstead paper pack

What I did:

Stamped the image on Copic friendly paper, then coloured in with my Copics and fussy cut it out.

Used the Whimsy die to cut strips from three different patterned papers from the paper pack.

Cut the heart from some red card.

Stamped and die-cut out the sentiment.

Glued the three strips of patterned paper across the bottom third of my card blank, then glued the heart on top of the papers.

Put 3d foam on the image and sentiment and popped them on the card too.

et voila, job done!

That's me for today folks, will be back soon!

Signing off,

Sarah
