Me again! This week has been a very crafty one as I felt so rough with the cold at the beginning of the week that I decided to take the week off - so no housework (don't worry I caught up today so the house isn't a complete mess!) and no exercise (no catching up with that one though!), instead I've spent the week making cards. Have had (mostly) a very good time as well - Monday was probably the worse day, and yesterday the best.
This meant that I've had a card to share everyday this week (I think, anyhow) but it's got to end somewhere and this will be it! Back to normal interrupted service next week!
So today's card is:
Front shot:
Close up of image:
Very simple compared to yesterdays card, but I sort of like overall and love the image!
I used:
Pollycraft digi stamp: Critters and Cogs - Spike; coloured with my Promarkers (no Flexmarkers this time!) then chalked while still in the die. The sentiment is part Pollycraft as well.
Paper: echo park - Splash
Twine from stash.
And.......
those aren't brads!!
They are the covers that you get to go over screws in furniture! Don't know what they are properly called, but I'm sure you know what I mean? They come from the 'craft chest' that we have brought Emily (yes she has her own craft drawers now - I think this is addictive!). It's a four drawer bit of bedroom furniture which is now living in our living room and has all her 'crafty' things in - she is well pleased with it!
She is not pleased however with the card, that caused tears. There were wails when she saw the 'brads', but they're mine - was the general theme of it! So card is now hidden in the hopes that she forgets all about bradgate!
Hope everyone else is well and I'll be back in the morning with my Sweet Stampin Design Team card.
See ya then,
Sarah

How cute monster. Two days ago, my nephew did a similar paper monster with plastic eye on the head. Some kids love to create. It is nice to have their own craft drawers. Hugs. Lily Anuska

Great card Sarah, I love the zingy colour of the paper and Spike looks very cute with this tasty cupcake. I hope Emily has forgiven you for 'Bradgate' and you get to use your card now.
