Awww..!

I'm not a soppy person.  At least, I don't think I am.  But I didn't take that into consideration at all when, a couple of years ago, I bought these stamps.  I don't get to use them very often, but when I do... oh, they are such a joy to colour.

It's new challenge time over at Lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolias and we've decided on an "Anything Goes" theme this fortnight.  My fabby teamies have made the most gorgeous creations to inspire you and I decided to make not one card, but two!




Apologies (again) for the photo - this time there was a yellow thing in the sky and no matter what I did, I couldn't avoid getting shadows on the cards. One even looks like a grubby fingerprint but I promise you, it isn't!

I found a tutorial for this card shape, wrote down the link and now can't find it.  When I do, I'll edit this post in case anyone would like to take a look.

The images were coloured with Copics and all that was added were some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and gingham from my stash.  Very simple, I know, but I do like the effect.

I do hope you can join us over at Lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolias - for this challenge we are sponsored by Creative Treasures
