"JUST ONE WORD" .......

Hi there lovely bloggers - hope you had a wonderful Christmas?  
Have all those mince pies sent Mr. Mojo to sleep?  Yep - same here!
****************** 
Fear not - the lovely Chrissie and Mandi - those fabulous  Less Is More Divas have given us all a kick-start with a fab. challenge - to use "JUST ONE WORD" on your card. 

*********

Recipe: -

Very Vanilla SU cardstock
Inkadinkado stamp, which I have used on my blog a couple of times before - sorry, but I love it!
Stamped with Ranger Jet Black Archival ink then brayered with Weathered Wood DI to give a cloudy effect. (I think there may be a couple of thumb prints in there too but they are of course meant to be small clouds)!!!
A soft touch of Victorian Velvet DI to colour the dress.
"Forever" from the Anna Griffin stamp"Forever and Always". ("and Always" was masked with sellotape before inking, then removed before stamping).
The finished piece was layered onto black card and attached with 3-d foam pads.
***********
I would like to enter my card into the following Challenges:-
Dutch Dare Challenges - Favourite Things (This "Monsieur and Madame" stamp, and Distress Inks).
Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes.
The Artistic Stamper - Vintage.

Hi and welcome to my new Followers Kim, Shirley and Laura.
****************************
Love to all, with wishes for a happy, healthy and peaceful 2012.

This is gorgeous and I can see why it would be a favourite ! x

Gini said...

Aaaaw so Romantic Sylvia, by the size of her waist she certainly has NOT been hitting the mince pies. I think she last ate something when she was 10... I bet she was chewing on her umbrella right up until the photographer shouted "say cheese" just to torment her :-)
