Hi everyone! Long time no post! Sorry I haven't been around much. I've had a few ongoing health issues which has meant quite a few trips to hospital in the past fortnight and as a consequence I've had alot on my mind. Usually crafting helps this but I just haven't felt like it to be honest. Also my craft room has been chaotic, I've sort of half moved back in and the librarian in me needs order and tidiness in order to craft!!!
Anyway, I have managed to fulfil my Anything Goes DT work. This week's challenge is "D" is for.... in my case, "D" is for "driving"!!
So I've chosen this gorgeous Stamping Bella stamp called "Cruisabella". This card is for my sis's friend's 40th birthday. Apparently she has a little sports car so I thought this would be perfect. If you click on the photo, you can see that I personalised the number plate by making my own to stick over the top which says "sal40"- her name is Sally! As usual I coloured with mixture of watercolour and lyra pencils and outlined in warm grey copic. The large sentiment is by Stampsmith. The cute little tag and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink (my latest new stash buy). I think these mini tags are going to be used ALOT! They're so cute and versatile! The papers are by Cosmo Cricket called "Delovely"- they certainly are!!!
Don't forget you can buy your Cosmo Cricket papers from the lovely Lynne at The Craft Den.
Come on over to Anything Goes and have a look at the fabbie inspiration from the DT!

Awesome card Steph! I love, love, love the shading - looks like the car is speeding by and we catch a glimpse of color. Since in my mind I only "saw" this image in peach (I have no idea why) I might have to borrow your very classy blue. Great job too on personalizing the license plate. Hope you are feeling better and so glad you played along with the Bella Babes in this month's Citrus challenge.
a beautiful card with an awesome image!
so cute and delightful!
love your card!
hugs and kisses from germany,
silvi xoxo
