Gratitude is born in hearts…


Sharing a card with a new stamp from The Ink Road from the Bella Flora Borders set.


I’m doing well with my NBUS, as this stamp set only arrived in the mail this week and it’s already seen some ink, aMAYzing!  But it was perfect for a bit of black and yellow action so I could play along at Dream Valley in their current challenge.  Love this colour combo, so striking and so happy!

For my layout I’ve followed the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  The simple clean lines worked well with the stamp set and allowed me to go a bit nuts with my layers of matting to show off that awesome colour combo even more.

Over at the AlphabetChallenge they want you to go either grunge or glitz.  As this thank you card is going out to a rather feminine woman I’ve gone with the glitz.  I swear it’s impossible to get glitter to show in a pic but the flowers are very much twinkling in real life, covered in a sparkly lick of Nuvo Aqua Shimmer.  I also used it on the fab chippie from Make it Crafty, which I think was actually itself a thank you from the ever-generous Zoe in one of my orders.  To further glitz it up I added a line of gems between the two border lines of the stamp and embossed the stamp for a glossy effect.
