Hi all. I hope you're all doing well and enjoying some crafty time this week. I'm enjoying plenty of crafting time at the mo which is so lovely, I'm steaming through my cards for the year! I've finally finished my new look craft room so I'm hoping to post piccies next week. I can't wait to show you as I've put alot of effort into creating my dream crafting space which is both inspirational and practical to me. Can't wait to show you!!!
Anyway onto a card I did yesterday for my Mum's birthday. It's not for ages yet but with my new craft organizer, I can easily do some long term card planning! :0)
As you might have noticed, I'm not really into pastels but as soon as I saw this image, it brought to mind fifties kitch and, of course, gingham so I ended up doing a pastel card. I really like it though. Papers are by MME. It's wierd, when I pull out 12 x 12" sheets, half of them are MME!!! I must really love their stuff without realising it cos I tend to go for it alot!! Do you like her paper pieced apron? I had to do it a couple of times to incorporate the baking tools. Also did plenty of stitching cos I thought it suited the kitchy-ness. Is that a word?!
Uhhhh. I hate to have to keep saying this but do click on the picture to see the full colouring goodness!! What is UP with my photos?!! I just can't seem to get them right at the moment!!
My usual close up!
For a change I thought I'd add a little something to the inside of the card so I decided to use one of the stamps from Stamping Bella's Recipe Icons set. Cute huh?
