What's your favourite?

Good morning! Hope you've all got a lovely weekend lined up.  I'm here to let you know that a new challenge starts at Sweet Stampin' this morning and this week we'd like you to use your favourite stamp.

I always struggle to pick a favourite stamp; usually my favourite is my latest purchase so I don't have an all-time favourite.  I do, however, have go-to stamps and my choice for my DT card is one of them.

It's a Hero Arts stamp from a wood block set and it's ideal for when I need to make a quick card.  This card, however, was not quick.   In fact, I had seven kinds of trouble trying to get this card right.

I was inspired by this card which I saw on Pinterest and set about making the stripes on the tag match the stripes on the card.  Now I could have just stamped across both layers at the same time but the OCD part of me wanted to have the stripes on both layers (yes, even though the tag is stuck down with foam tape).

Several attempts at lining up later I managed to get the stripes the way I wanted them.  I used a Clearly Besotted stamp for the sentiment and found some orange twine to complete the tag.  All I had to do now was take a photo...

Several attempts at getting a decent piccie later I had to admit defeat in order to get this post scheduled.  Irl the colours (Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed) look much brighter. Edited to add: Have now replaced the original photo with the one taken with a black background, which seems a bit sharper. 

Hope you can join us at Sweet Stampin' this week. Quixotic Paperie are sponsoring us so there's a £10 voucher up for grabs!

Have a great day!
