Polka Doodles apology . .

Apologies everyone but I didn't post last weeks card and that's because I couldn't get a decent photo of it . . . not sure these are any better mind you! We were challenged (cheers Stacey) to use acetate or vellum on our card or project. Now I'm not a vellum lover (OK shoot me later) so had to go for the acetate option . . now you can see my problem with the photo thing.

Back cover (to write your sentiment)

I have used the FAB new Fairy stamps (Maggie this time) for my card and papers are from different Polka Doodles CD's. Lots of stamping and colouring with different media - AquaMarkers, Promarkers and Sakura Gelly Roll pens. All the pages have been decorated (inside and out) as you can see from the photos'

Now this week, we were challenged to make a vintage style card and I am so into recycling at the moment that I had to use another piece of this card packaging . . . don't know what I'm going to do when it's all gone mind you !?!?! Even the red flower is a recycled item too !

Stamp: Prim Angel from Polka Doodles
Ribbons: Polka Doodles - Rustic Charm ribbon pack
Sentiment: Kolette Hall

I have used one of Nikky's fab new stamps, (Prim Angel), and coloured her with my Promarkers: loads of inking and then added ribbons & lace as the extra touch.


I am also entering my card into the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft Challenge - recipe this week and although I haven't used 2 papers (per say), I am being cheeky and saying the corrugated card and red backing are my papers ! ! ! Can I be that cheeky Cupcake DT?
Scrap Masters Colour Combo
A Spoon Full of Sugar - theme this week is "Christmas"
Stampin for the Weekend - Anything goes
Sentimental Sundays - ribbon or lace . . . a bit of a "boob" on my behalf as I thought it read "ribbon AND lace" ! ! !

Happy Friday everyone,

Lou

They're both gorgeous cards Lou although I have to say I like the vintage one a teensy bit more for obvious reasons!
Thanks for making such a beautiful creation for my challenge - I love the corrugated card which I'm into as well as I love texture.
