Spread Your Wings My Precious Friend

Before I post my card can I just say that we have all had a very sleepless night here in Enfield, North London due to the riots. They started in Enfield Town but spread to the shopping park near to where we live and also several shops on the local main road were looted nearby to us.  I will not say what I think but you can guess what is going thru my mind about these youngsters........

Here is my first card for today - I have been up most of the night just sitting here in my 'new' craft room - cannot provide pics of it yet as it is not completely finished yet - too many boxes lying around etc.  Promise to post pics very soon.......using another fabulous Simply Sassy stamp (Spread Your Wings) I used my PMs to colour.  I hope you like her hair colour - I 'borrowed' the idea from Lou Mac - you have to visit her blog to see her colour combos (they are fabulous).

 All the papers are backed with plain white card coloured with appropriate colour in PMs and I made the flowers myself - good eh?

Very exciting news and Geri's Special Card

I have a very very special surprise for you all but you will need to wait til 2moro to find out what it is as I am sworn to secrecy.............................so do pop back 2moro and see what my special news is pls!

This card for today is for a very special lady called Geri who is going thru a major op this week so this is winging its way to her to wish her a speedy recovery.

Using Spread Your Wings rubber stamp from the Simply Sassy range at FunkyKits, I used my Promarkers to colour her to match this fab freebie paper I got called Sweet Wishes from Papercraft Essentials.  The other freebie used is the ever-so-sweet sentiment stamp which is from Pink Petticoat range of clear stamps in a magazine (cannot recall which one tho - sorry).  It is perfect for the image I think......

I hope that Geri gets on ok in hospital and makes a very speedy recovery so that she can get back to crafting asap!
