I can't show everything I've done today, because one piece in particular is a surprise.
Last evening I started my cards for the August monthly swap on Carolyn's but couldn't get much enthusiasm for finishing them. So, today I came back to them and put the finishing touches. I think I can show one because Melissa (the organiser of the swap) has shown hers.
The brief this month is to make four cards all the same. The main stamp is a Magenta one (I love it - can look so different depending on the inking and background). I decided to stamp direct to 6 x 6 paper from Warm Tones Colossal Paper Inspirations by Papermania, using blazing red Stazon. The swirly stamp is one from a QVC TSV kit bought in June. Ribbon is from a pack of Anita's sticky ribbons and the gems are from a bargain Poundland pack.
The following card is a decoupage one made for a friend's birthday:
Sorry to hear about the pain Hazel, it's a devil isn't it? My doc has recomended that I try accupuncture, says that should give some relief so as soon as I have some spare euro I'll be trying it.
