Sketch Saturday 26


Sketch Saturday 26, originally uploaded by Bio-hazar.

I did this card on the weekend, for my SIL birthday. I used Sketch Saturday again for the layout. The stamped image an Art-Kure stamp coloured with a water colour brush and Ranger Distress Ink in Demin Jeans. The squares are embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and highlighted with Distress Ink. The senitment stamps is from Personal Impressions. Im not sure what the papers are as it was a piece of left over scrap. I finished the card off with some buttons.

Stash Shopping

Just a quick blog today. I'm feeling a lot better now, and am back to work. So that means a little less time to do crafts. That doesn't mean that I stop thinking about crafts though. I went out on my lunch break today and popped into Poundland. I didn't mean to buy any more Christmas stash for my cards this year. However, I saw these and couldn't resist. I usually don't like the craft items in Poundland, but was impressed with the quality of how these looked. There were a few other designs but I decided to just get these five. Now all I need to do is get making some more cards!
