Misty Meadow

I had a little play with a couple of sprig stamps and in doing so I have learned that I can also sponge edges with my left hand too, I'm getting to be quite ambidextrous.
the base card is a spring green colour then I layered a paper by HOTP on top folding opposite corners and adding a ribbon below it before sticking it onto the base card.
I took a separate piece of the green card and sponged the corners with a blue in then using the same ink I stamped the sprigs and the sentiment from PTI.
I distressed the edges and cut a couple of slits in the card to thread through the ribbon and tied it at the edge

Left Handed Stamping

Well this is my first card for a good while and as the title says I hand to stamp it with my left hand I only did a little bit of stamping and it was a succession of mistakes on my first few tries but I got there in the end.
Tomorrow I'll post my second card as I still need to put it all together although I got a bit more adventurous and tried left handed cuttlebugging lol!
the papers added to the card below are by Glitterami and the stamps are from the sale-a-bration by Stamping Up
As you can probably guess my hands are slightly better although still quite a challenge to make cards.

I think I probably got into crafting when I was born because my mother is very crafty. I don't remember aa time when I didn't craft.Now a days I get inspiration from the challenge blogs. I only started finding crafty blogs in Feb and since then I have made more things than I have in the last 5 years.Those rubber stamps are making my mouth water.Blessings,Christine
