The Sweeties from both team Fi and team Abi joined in this week's challenge and believe me, there are the most fabulous inspiration cards on the Sweet Stampin' blog today.
Here's my DT card
Apologies for the photo - I still haven't got round to sorting out a light box but I really must. I never seem to see daylight at the moment! I used MME papers, distressed them and inked the edges with Walnut Stain DI. I stamped one of my favourite Tildas and coloured her with Copics, adding some sparkle with Sakura glitter pens. The sentiment is from a Clearly Besotted stamp set and I went over the script with a clear glitter pen to make it stand out a bit. I didn't want too much white space on the card so I added a few WOC roses in shades of gold and creamy yellow to the top left corner.
I do hope that you can join us over at Sweet Stampin' this week.
It's perhaps as well that we don't have a birthday cake at Sweet Stampin' Towers. At school we have "Cake Friday", which means that the staff take it in turns to bake something lovely to have with our cuppa at break time. I'm not in the staffroom that often but for obvious reasons I try to get in there on a Friday. Yesterday one of the kids offered me a sweetie and I declined on the grounds that I had just eaten a rather big piece of delicious Victoria Sponge. My darling pupil didn't give up: "It's OK, Mrs Trayner... you're not THAT fat!" That's me told, then.
Have a great day!
