Quick and Easy Part 1

When I first started making cards, I used rub on images and sentiments, and Doodlebug stickers.  A LOT.  Then I discovered Copics and stamps and that was me, hooked.  But with that came a feeling of somehow cheating if I used anything from my sticker and rub on stash.  Not so much the sentiments as I still have some Pebbles Christmas rub ons which I love and use all the time.  But the images, well, I certainly wouldn't post what I had made with them.

But that's nonsense, isn't it?  Why be precious about how much work you've put into a card and what you've used when you can create something lovely - and quickly - with minimal supplies?

I found some gorgeous Anna Griffin rub-ons which are donkey's years old and it seemed such shame to leave them unloved in a drawer.  So I decided to start working through the ancient (in crafting terms) stash and here's what I made



I applied the rub on bauble directly to a fog card base and stamped a Pretty Pink Posh sentiment in Versamark ink so that I could emboss it in gold.  The card took less than 10 minutes to make and I rather like it.

I then got quite carried away, so there'll be more of my quick and easy cards to come!

There's not a thing wrong with this beauty. What a gorgeous detailed image. It certainly needed to come out of hiding. :-)
