White on White

I was asked to make a sympathy card at short notice, so had a scoot around for inspiration and found the current Mojo Monday sketch:


And made this card. I've used white linen effect cardstock for most of the sketch elements along with a D'vine swirls embossed vellum background.

The ribbon and flower match perfectly which is good - the ribbon I bought over the weekend from a local craft shop - 5 bundles of ribbon for £2 and I think there is at least 3 metres of each so quite pleased with myself! Both the flowers are Papermania along with the pearl brad.

I've dotted around the edges here and there with a silver gel pen, but that's all - kept it clean and simple and now I wonder why I don't make more of these type of cards as it was really quick to put together!

I'm busy at the moment completing a Wedding Photo album - I'm about two thirds of the way through it and it needs to be finished for Monday. So that's top of my list of things to do at the moment!

• Dies: Cuttlebug D'vine swirls embossing folder
  
• Flowers and Brad: Papermania
• Ribbon: Local craft shop
  

Have A Great Day!

Well, I am right on the ball this week - only a day or so after the challenge has gone live and I've made my card! No last minute minnie for me on this one!! This card is for the current Bugaboo challenge which is to follow the sketch and the theme of:

April Showers

It was quite an inspired moment - the backing paper is a bargain 25p 12x12 sheet from my now joint favourite craft shop - Inspirations which has not long been open and is not too far from me (15 mins down the motorway towards Preston if I put my toe down). It's K & Co and is very nice!

I thought it went well with the image and I coloured it with Promarkers to match the paper. The coloured card is from my stash, along with the ribbon. The sentiment is an Anita's stamp and the largest of the three brads is Queen & Co, very generously sent to me by Jenny a while ago (see - I've opened them!!!) The other two are from my stash - probably Dovecraft.
