I'm back...


I have been so poorly over the last week or so that I haven't done any card making or craft of any kind - not a happy situation! However, I am beginning to feel tons better and have at last got some of my craft stuff out and got into action.
This card is a triple whammy (well I have missed a lot of challenges and need to catch up fast). The challenge at http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/ is to use three types of embellishment on your card. I loved that idea and on my card I have diamond gems (10 ooooooh good job I bought some bargain ones recently - thank you Chris at Bargain Garden), eyelets and last but not least ribbon.

The challenge at http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/ is 'monochromatic' - my favourite. I love black and white. I just can't resist black and white paper designs and even though I have millions I still buy more.

The third challenge is at http://ooh-la-la-creationschallenges.blogspot.com/ and is the one dear to my heart as it is the one I organise with my dear friend Wendi and this week we asked people to think 'Romance'
The images used on the card are silhouettes from a CD by Ooh-la-la-Creations and the sentiment is from a set of clear stamps by Heidi Grace.
I'm especially pleased with this card as I think it will make a great anniversary card for my Auntie and Uncle who are celebrating their Diamond Wedding anniversary next week - well it has got 10 of my new diamond gem stones on!
