Going Back to Bed

Nothing is going right so I think I should go back to bed!

First of all I wanted to do a wedding card and had not a clue what to do.  At my age there is not much call for me to do wedding cards so inspiration was lacking - then I found the stamp that said "perfect" to me.  Stamped and embossed in gold, found words that were suitable  - all assembled - then messed up.  I wanted to use one of my MS punches down the side - it jammed - and ripped the card.  Back to square one minus the MS punch.


A bit plain, but then she is a young girl so wouldn't want anything over the top.  Determined MS had to feature somewhere I made an insert but found it wouldn't go round corners and couldn't get it to match up so punched some flowers out for three corners and those gorgeous little butterflies from my die.  Ok, she got over the top inside her card.


Next thing:  Lots to Do challenge - "The Scenic Route" - got just the stamp.  A huge Magenta one with an Edwardian couple cycling down a lane.  Could I find it - could I heck!  Come to think of it where is the other one with the little girl, and the one ....  How can someone lose such big stamps?  After temper tantrums (only kidding) and ages of searching I gave up.  

Used this one from my Scenic box and decided to watercolour - then changed my mind and got my stick chalks out.  Not done colouring like this for ages so not sure what anyone will think of it.


That's it from me today - hate to say but got housework to do.
