My "Grown Up" Card!

Good morning....or should I see nearly afternoon! We've all had a proper lie in this morning and we all needed it I can tell you! We had a great day out yesterday visiting my friend Jose and her family but by the time we got home, we were all very tired so we gave Tae Kwon-do a miss and just chilled out. Didn't realise how tired we were until we woke up at 11.00 am this morning!!

I'm now able to show the card and small gift I made for Jose....it was a late Easter present.

Most of my cards are "cute" ones and I don't actually own many "grown up" stamps, so I am gradually rectifying this and recently bought this Penny Black Wind Caressed stamp. I coloured it with Prismas and Sansodor and added a little glamour dust to the centres of the flowers. Cardstock is from Bazzill and paper is Laura Ashley. The light blue c.s. panel has been embossed with the Script Texture Cuttlebug embossing folder and a sentiment from Dovecraft stamped straight onto it. Ribbon was from my stash and the sticky gems are Papermania.

I just can't get over how quick these candles are to make! Got the blank candle and glass dish from Asda. The stamp is from the Just Celebrate Stampin Up set and coloured with Brushables. The rub ons on the dish are from Stampin Up as well (courtesy of Denise....thank you!). Tag is a Big Shot die, stamped with a sentiment from Woodware with a small flower rub on from SU, with a small sticky gem from Papermania added to the centre of the flower. Ribbon is from my stash and bag from Lakeland!! I've actually stamped the image on the front and back of the candle.

Plenty of housework to get on with now and hope to be able to catch up on my blogging this evening and maybe even start making a card....you never know!
