Harrogate craft fair

I'm off out for the Day with my Mam, we are going to Harrogate Craft Fair and my wonderful brother is to be the chauffeur as I didn't fancy the long drive with a sore hand, mind you there is definitely an improvement this morning.

As I won't be around today I have some exciting free downloads planned for tonight including to Build a Blossom, Polka dot and a Flourish sheet.

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

Just a Dress

This is a little dress that I stamped a couple of weeks ago but never got round to making it up untill now, it is a DL size card layered with papers that have been punched down one edge the image is couled with the stamping up ink, a blossom, ribbon and pearls to finish

This is a close up of the dress stamped directly onto card then re-stamped onto parchment, cut out at attched on top of the image.

Cuttlebug Coffee & Cream Swirl

The stamped images are slear stamps by Impression Obsession called Smell the Coffee.

I used the Cuttlebug Swirl embossing folder behind the stamped images

The Fancy edges are New Border Punches by Adorna sent to me by a very dear friend Katie you just have to check out her blog

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.
