How is your week going? This week most of my time is taken up with invigilating at our local secondary school. That means there isn't a lot of time to craft but I have managed to grab a bit of time so far. The weather has been amazing hasn't it. I have quite enjoyed walking to work.
Yesterday I managed to finish this card. When I was a the Newbury Craft show I bought a pack of Izink dye ink pads and some daubers for colouring poppies. My idea was to try them with my Creative Expressions Exquisite Poppy dies to see if they worked.
I found a doily in my stash. There is some patterned paper in the background. The Happy Birthday was cut from a pad.
When I had a play day with my crafty friends last week I took along the poppy dies and the ink pads. This is the result. I was rather pleased and I couldn't resist making the poppies into a card. I added Laurel leave cut with Creative Expressions dies.
I hope the rest of the week is kind to you.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Happy Crafting
