I have some gorgeous ribbon for that........

Today's card is for the following challenges:

Passion for promarkers ~ Colour theme pastel

Less is more ~ Don't scrap it

Allsorts Challenge ~ It's your choice

The Secret Crafter ~ White on white

Materials used:

White card stock inc. scraps

Sizzix Dots embossing folder

Stamped images from Penny Black ~ Critter party & Bubbly

Images stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with Promarkers.

I do have the perfect cloud ribbon for this card, but it was so hard to not add it.  Trying to keep it white (excluding the image) and simple is harder than it looks.  This has to be the smallest card I have made in a long time, an A6 card.  I just wanted to keep going with this card by adding more and more detail to the colouring, but I thought 'no' it has to be clean and simple.  I may have to remake this card with all the extras I want lol! 

The scrap paper was used to make the clouds.  I always keep all my scrap strips, rectangles, anything they are great for the little one to sort through for her little crafty moments.

 Thank you to the lovely Franz over at The Secret Crafter for her beautiful DT card that gave me the inspiration for this project.

Hope you have a lovely day, thank you for popping by my blog.

Hello...

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.

Sorry it has been such a long time since my last post.  I caught the dreaded cold that seems to be going around everywhere at the moment.  Feeling a lot better now though =D

I wanted to share with you a new project I have on the go.  For my 'day' job I run my own business doing printing (mugs and other gifts) and embroidery.  It's a great job and enables me to stay at home and work which is very convenient when you have a little one, for those unpredictable days off school sick, etc.  The only thing is sometimes it's just not creative enough for me.  I have had the idea for quite a while to design my own mugs.

I have started to turn the 'idea' into actual products ~ Yippee!!

Here is the first design

You can find these for sale in my e-bay store (click the link on your right) or you can contact me direct.

I am working on some Mother's day designs now and will share as soon as they are ready.

Hope you are all having a lovely half term break.

Love Em x
