Tightrope walking

Hello Blogland

Me again just about squeezing in two posts in one week - something I've not done in ages! Although, to be fair, this card probably should have been posted earlier in the month as it's the All Dressed Up Facebook groups' DT inspiration for the May new release! 

So either I'm really good posting on the blog twice in one week, or I'm really bad for not posting this earlier in the month.  Hmmmm, I think I'll go with getting something on the blog twice in a week - it feels better than saying 'OMG - I should've posted this nearly a month ago'! Such a merry optimist I am. ;-)

Getting on to the actual card: 


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
All Dressed Up - Circus Skills
coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:
Sentiment stamp brought from a dump bin at a Harrogate Craft fair a couple of years ago

Anything else:
Homemade stencil and Distress Inks to create a background
corner punch to create the notches
Stitched rectangular die set

Aaaand, that's about it folks!

The radiators got plumbed in, but the really fancy upright one in the dining / living room has a minor leak. Plumbers coming back again next week to do something to it to fix and then we should be up and running! We had skirting arrive earlier in the week as well, hubby's going to get the architrave today and a new larder cupboard is coming in a couple of weeks. Phew! Room is almost there!!

Hope everyone is well,
Sarah

Challenge/s:

Krafty Chicks Challenge: #665 All Occasions Week

As You Like it: Favourite Masculine or Feminine project. Ahhhh, well now - I actually like making both, but as it's a very small family I have and the offspring is of the female type who has lots of girlfriends - I mostly make cards for the girl side of the population.
