Thank you card...


This is a card made for my friend, Anne, who I spent the other weekend with. We have been friends for as long as I can remember and without getting too soppy she means a lot to me.

Of course being 'challenge mad' it had to fit in with a couple of those too!

Challenges:


  • The sketch at Cutie Sunday (whoops maybe there should be a cute stamp on there somewhere!)

  • 'Flowers' at The Secret Crafter (my flowers are teabag folded ones - really into adding those to cards since the Cuttlebug Spot challenge last week)

  • 'Don't quote me but... at Caardvarks

Materials:



  • qoute stamps by Stamp Magic (I bought years ago as a single stamp but it now seems as if you have to buy a whole sheet - very nice though)

  • patterned paper freebie from Craft's Beautiful Mag

  • card, paper, peel offs and brads from stash
