Gilded Cage

Today has been a long day - we have been assembling and positioning flat pack furniture  so right now I am aching and tired but also quite happy with what we have achieved.  I brayered this image earlier in the week but it has sat unloved until tonight when I have turned it into a simple Mothers Day card.  The stamp is from CraftyIndividuals and the sentiment from LOTV.  I am entering this is the Stampin Sister for Christ challenge of last Sunday to use flowers.

Thank you for looking and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Quick Post

This is a very quick post to share another card that I am entering for Jugs124.  I very rarely make two cards for a challenge but having stamped and brayered this I ended up with something hat I could enter for this week's Jugs colours so that is what I plan to do.

Brayering - VLVFeb2012_Week2

I have been playing with my brayer as I have joined the Brayering class at MCC.  Having produced a nice varied background with Sailboat Blue, Raspberry and Purple Twilight Adirondack inks I decided to cut it up and use it for the VLV Feb 2012 Week 2 sketch.  I stamped it with images from Lavinia stamps and sentiments from Cloud 9 and Innovative Stamp Creations.  I used Purple Stazon for the images and sentiments.  The background is done using a Craft Concepts embossing folder.

Thank you for looking.
