Thank you...


Another 'Thank you' card. This one is for the challenge of saying 'Thank you' at http://www.daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/. Some of you may have noticed a fair amount of blue and matching papers in my last few cards. I've been using an amazing little DCWV card making pad I bought in one of the sales at Arty Miss. They had been reduced from £9.99 to just a pound and have both card, co-ordinating papers and stickers like the 'you are great' one on this card in them. Lovely collections and well worth a pound.
Once you start sanding cuttlebug embossing you can't stop so although I have already done a card for the challenge at http://cuttlebugchallenge.blogspot.com/ this one counts too. Infact I got a little carried away when sanding this and lost half the design as I went through the card stock. Perhaps the craft tip for this week should be sand gently!!
The 'thank you' stamp is by Inkadinkado and I added a couple of gems from my stash.

I have that embossing folder and have never managed to make it look so good. Sanding is obviously the key! Great card, thanks for sharing!

Love this card Ann and all the others you've been making lately too!
I hadn't realised that it had been so long since I'd been blog-hopping. Your paper pads sound fabulous value, wish I'd seen them!
Thank you for your kind comments on my DT card and I hope you'll find time to join in with us.
