My Guest Designer card for crafty monkeys

My Guest designer card for
Crafty monkeys


I was asked if i wanted to be this weeks guest designer
at crafty monkeys i was so excited and i said yes
I was told the theme for this weeks challenge, was to make a
Christmas card.I chose out some bright blue paper,
after that i was looking though my mums stamp collection.
I found this sugar Nellie stamp. i had an idea in my head of what colours
i would use to shade in.Near the image i had a blue peace of paper and it was a bit boring so then i asked my
mum if i could use the embossing folder, so my mum was about to show me how to use the embossing folder but she thought of an idea to make it a little bit more colourful.
my mum took a ink pad and wiped it on the folder, then and only then she put the paper in the embossing folder and ran it through the big shot. It looked lush.

Linda Crowder said...

Wow, I can't believe these cards. Your mom is an excellent teacher but I believe the talent must be in the genetics. I mentioned your mom's blog on my blog and so I am also mentioning yours too, since your cards are so wonderful. I hope you get some visitors from TEXAS. Keep up the good work. You can check out my blog, A Stroke Above at http://astrokeabove.blogspot.com/ I doubt there is much to interest you, but you can read what I said about you and your mom. I suffer from a terminal disease and my blog is more about reaching out to meet and help others like myself. I am new at this so it hasn't grown much yet. I make cards to keep me going and I've made many friends since I began my blog. If you like it and have time, you can link up to my email and drop me a line. Best of luck, Linda Crowder
