I had a lovely day yesterday cropping with the usual suspects (you know who you are) at the Plymouth crop. I decided that my card collection needed a boost as I have been using them for birthdays etc but not really making any to replenish my stock. I have only photographed one so far.
I love how this one turned out because this bright green isn't a colour I would normally use on a card but I am so glad I did. Being at a crop presents you with problems though and despite taking almost my entire craft room with me (and yes the Artbin wheely tote just fits in the boot of a mini) I had forgotten to take embroidery floss so when I stitched around the edge of this card using linen thread it took quite a long time! I love the look though.
I love the Anya stamps but I must get some different girls for my cards so that I can have a bit of of variety. I coloured this little girl using Derwent watercolour pencils.
I have a little box that I keep random brads, buttons and other little embellishments ready to put in my crop bag. The brad and the 'Hugs & Kisses' chipboard sentiment were from that box so I have no idea where they are from. I used seam binding ribbon from my huge roll of Hugsnug that I ordered from the US - it is my favourite.
I also decorated the inside of the card but I forgot to photograph it.
Have a lovely Sunday :)
