A rare treat, i've been let loose into a craftshop! I had been given a gift voucher for Christmas from CCrafts and today i was allowed to have a chance to look around. For a change i had a list of what i was looking for, gems, stamps and monochrome. £14.44 later i have gained more to my stash, all of which i already have uses/plans for. The two clear stamps are both similar to more expensive ones i have seen and at £3.99 each i'm happy with them. One is musical notes and the other handwritten script. Both will make some amazing backing to a main design. Two packets of gems, of varying sizes and some black doilies! I've seen white, pastels but never black until today so i just had to get, considering i have this whole monochrome thing going on. The paper flowers i was thrilled with too, sometimes a girl just wants some flowers that aren't all pink and pastel.
I hope to use the stamps tonight, or tomorrow, depending on my son and the fact i'm fighting an ear infection still. Ever been sea sick on dry land ,anyone?
The next picture is the card i posted off today, black and purple being a friends favourite colours and i bet you can't guess her favourite animal? The backing paper is white lace printed on a black background and some small flowers all tie this design together. Of course there are gems in the flowers. Who doesn't love a little bit of sparkle? Hopefully my friend will be delighted with it.
Anyway i'm itching to craft, i feel ink pads and my new stamps will be experimented with. Happy Crafting!
