I have made this card for my friend Kerina who is celebrating a birthday this week.
This was actually my second attempt. The first one below I re stamped onto white cardstock – I didn’t like the Kraft cardstock. I think my second card (above) is better – I hope Kerina does too!
I have used Cosmo Cricket Social Club Mini Deck DSP plus other cardstock from my stash. I used my Fiskars paper trimmer, Fiskars micro tip scissors and my Fiskateer scissors – yes I received some happy mail a few weeks ago and it was a new pair of scissors with my number on them! A lovely surprise. Images used are SU Best of Everything and Sweet Summer. I used SU Basic Grey and Garden Green ink and SU marker Island Indigo.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges

Hope everyone had a great weekend. The netball semi final was a nail bitter. The girls were up the whole game until the last quarter when they took on 3 injuries! They finally lost by 2. Not a bad effort considering they were fourth on the ladder playing the top team – they sure made the opposition earn their place in the finals!
Hopefully back tomorrow with another card to share.
Cheers
Vicki
