Quick post...

...cos I'm yawning my head off!!  It appears to have been the longest week EVER this week, so I was glad to get home tonight and make this card :-)

A colleague at work goes to classes at a different craft shop to the one I go to so yesterday lunchtime Debs and I took a trip down there, cos it's only a couple of minutes from our office - we didn't know what to expect but it was OK, so we had a happy half hour mooching and I got a couple of papers that I hadn't seen before and a set of Christmas word stamps.  Both of which I had to test out on tonight's card.  It's not a huge shop but the papers that were on offer were well presented and cared for (always a good sign I feel, I HATE tatty papers).  All in all I've had FAR worse lunch breaks :-)

Right here's my card


The sentiment has been stamped onto a scalloped circle punched out of white CS with versamark and heat embossed with purple embossing powder.  I've used the same embossing powder to edge the circle and distressed it with lilac inks



Supplies:
Image - Lily of the Valley; Sentiment - Personal Impressions; Copics; Glamour Dust; Diamond Dust; Momento Tuxedo Black; Versamark; Lilac Inkpad; Hampton Art Purple Embossing Powder;
CS - White; Valiant Violet Coredinations; Paper - Best Creation Inc; MS Snowflake Punch; Woodware Scalloped Circle Punch; Lilac Satin and Purple Organza Ribbon; Purple Gems

I'd like to enter this card for these challenges

Thanks for looking, have a great weekend

Beautiful card! I love the purple. I like the image of papers being well cared for. Somehow, that describes perfectly the kind of shop you'd like to be in. I've passed on to you the Stylish blogger award on my blog:
