Well this week I have been dabbling in all sorts. I have been making a few bits for my Easter Swap organised by the lovely Hookin' with LaaLaa so I can't really show them until my partner Gill The Vintage Gardener has received them.
What I can show you though is these cards.
I dabbled in cardmaking many moons ago but pretty much gave it up as I am rubbish at it. However recently I got some free Cupcake stamps with the Simply Homemade Magazine and they were just to sweet not to use.
I had never used these rubber sheet stamps before; back in my day it was all red rubber on chunks of wood. I took advice from an expert card maker (thanks Judith) and got cracking.
They are quite simple but I really enjoyed getting my stuff out again messing with promarkers and ink ~ I had it all over!
I'm quite pleased with how they turned out.
Last week I won a giveaway hosted by the lovely Vintage Vicki, I was delighted and really pleased with what arrived, everything was right up my street!
There was a definite Red White and Blue theme, can't imagine why :)
Im a sucker for a brooch.
I will try my best not to kill these!
I love it all thanks again Vicki x
p.s.don't forget there is still time to enter my Tea Cup Candle Giveaway.
