Morning bloggers..
Well I was a very lucky lady at Christmastime, and one of my gifts was some fabulous Papertrey Ink stamps and dies from a very lovely person ... so I've been practising and practising - and here's what I came up with!! What do you think?
They do take some getting used to.. positioning the die over the stamped image is a bit tricky.. but they are soooooo effective when it's done. I just used a bit of pink dotty (yes it had to be pink!) from my stash... a pc generated sentiment... a woodware corner rounder.. and of course the stamps and dies.. which are Rosie Posie from Papertrey Ink. Oooh and a little touch of glitter finished the roses off...
Now I just wanted to share these pics of my youngest daughter - who was in Las Vegas over Christmas... They are entitled 'How to Give My Mother Nightmares/a Heart Attack'... (and look away if you're squeamish...)
On the last one - she's actually standing on the very edge of the Grand Canyon!!!! Seems they don't have health and safety over there............ And as I hate heights, my toes curled when I looked at it!! She had a fabulous time as her birthday is on Christmas Eve also... and she was with a group of friends so celebrated in style..
Big hugs to all and Happy Crafting..

Lovely card, and I love the shaped corners. The pics did make me feel a bit woozy too. Hope she had a great birthday while she was there.

What a beautiful girl, Christine! Obviously takes after her mum.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very elegant card - the touch of glitter really finishes it off beautifully!
Wonderful card gorgeous photos Ginny x
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card - love it and all the sparkles too. We went to Vegas last year, and yes, you can stand right on the very edge - it's a long long way down. It is certainly a once in a lifetime experience - especially the helicopter trip over the canyon.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Christine, I love this card! Gorgeous stamps and soooo effective!
ReplyDeleteI could hardly look at the second photo! Scary!

I think you have done wonders with the die and stamp, I have all on getting an ordinary shaped die rightly positioned over an image, they look great and of course the sparkle too.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's,glad she had a great time.
Thanks for the tip about Chrome.

Hi Christine - thanks for the comment on my blog this morning, I had thought about putting my card in the Pinkie Palace, but wasn't sure if it was pink enough! It's there now!
ReplyDeleteFab cards from you too - love the elegance of this one and your previous ones (and tags!) are pretty amazing too!!
Great pictures of your daughter as well - sounds like she had great fun.
