Our sponsor this week is Paper Makeup Stamps
and the fabulous prize on offer is a Cupcake Stamp Set AND a Birthday Fairy Stamp.
We extend a warm welcome to Nancy who is our Guest Designer for the next two weeks. Please stop by her blog and leave her some love.
Anyhoo onto this weeks challenge ánd as the title "Pocket Full of ..." suggests... we would love to see some POCKET or WALLET cards and here is my interpretation.
I have coloured Annie with my Prismas then matted her onto a pretty pastel pink. My papers are from SU, I do love these, and I have used the very first border punch I bought yonks ago. Primas and roses are from stock and the tiny flowers are waste from past punching - being the canny Scot I am I waste nothing! oops and the sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly.
I have carried my papers and punching through to the inside, ooh I am so proud of myself as never done this before, and secured my pockets with minature Papermania brads.
Ooh wait for it ... I have decorated the back as well ... getting good in my old age!
I wish to thank my wee bloggie pal from over the pond for the know how, little did you realise your birthday card was also a tutorial!
Be sure to join us for a "Pocket Full of ..." and check out my DT buddies blogs Donna, Kimmi, Amy, Claire, Ida, Jen, Poppet, Vicki and Vanja for inspiration.
Have a wonderful weekend too. -x-
