Stamptacular Challenge

Hi all hope you are all having a great day and I want to say thank you for all your lovely comments on my cards that I managed to post last night before I got thrown out again.....and I did. I finally gave up and decided to make this card for this weeks Stamptacular Sunday Challenge the requirement being to use Charms on the card. I have gone a bit dramatic again with this one and have used my Stamp Addicts Flower mask I normally use embossing powder but decided to stamp with Versafine Onyx Black ink this time for a change. I have coloured both images with Sakura Gelly Roll pens for a bit of substance and shine. The backing paper is from Elusive Images I added a couple of flowers and ribbons and of course a charm that dangles from the top mask. Hope you like this one hugs to you all and keep up the fantastic work because its you that inspire me.

Paul said...: Wow - this is such an amazing image and I can just imagine how good it would look on an ATC by having just half of it stamped (I presume it's larger than ATC size). They'd suit a colour challenge well (hint hint lol)

P.S. Sorry for the mix up on the Swappers Blog, it's all been sorted now. It was just an oversight of mine and wasn't intentional. The ATCs are already mailing themselves to you; 30 April 2009 at 13:56

Kym's Crafty Cards said...: Lorraine, this is a gorgeous card. I too am not overly keen on orange but it has made this card such a warm card.

Thanks for the comment on my blog. It is greatly appreciated. Thankfully I haven't had any problems with my blogger since my eldest son downloaded Google Chrome for me to use instead of Internet Explorer. He has said though that trying to download the new version of Internet Explorer might solve blogger problems but it might not. Thankfully it opening 20+ versions of the same blog and none being able to be used and Alt-Ctrl-Del not even working and having to switch the computer off at the button which is a real no-no is a thing of the past thank goodness. My son is nearly finishing his first year on an IT Diploma so I trust what he says and he knew what he was on about on this one. Hope this information helps and you will be blogging to your hearts content very very soon. Best wishes, Kym xx; 30 April 2009 at 22:35
