Bugs'n'kisses

This is my second post for today - I am on a roll this afternoon.  I have the house to myself as Lynne is off out to see Michael (her fiancee) and my 2 wee boys are outside rolling around in the soil Graham turned over at the weekend - whoops there will be dust everywhere when they come in later!!

I hope you are all still enjoying this fabulous weather tho I heard on Radio 2 that it was 9degrees in Wick - well it would be way up there - no offence meant to anyone who lives there as I know it is a lovely town - been there- done that- got the tshirt.

Back to the card now - I had dug out my freebie Pink Petticaot stamps earlier so thought I would make use of them again with this New Home/ Just for You/ Just to Say/whatever card.  Using my Papermania Swiss Dots Embossing Folder I managed to emboss the whole of the front with a bit of fiddling around I have to add - I was seeing spots flashing all over by the time I had figured it all out dopey me!! - then I cut out the frame of one of my Nellie Snellen Square Dies and then thought I could use what was left instead of the square I had meant to cut if you know what I mean?  Are you still with me?...........

I used the wee house stamp and coloured it with PMs - colours to follow below - then coloured the background with them too - new for me (saw Nikki from Polka Doddles on C&C demonstrating this a couple of weeks ago) and I am quite happy with the result.  Distressed edges too.  Sentiment is from same stamp set.

This card is a bit different for me as I am following hte rules that Nic set for Passion for Promarkers challenge -  if my card doesn't fit challenge girls just ignore me pls -  I have to say I struggled with not covering up all the front of the card so not sure how I will get on with Less Is More!!
