One for Fun

005a

As usual I am in a rush but just felt I needed some time away from commissions and make a ME card, so this one is just for Fun, I have had this lovely Hangler Stangler stamp for a few weeks but have not had the time to ink it up, so this is todays treat to myself, (its better than a cream cake lol).

005I even got my beloved Distress Inks out for this one, I think I had withdrawal symptoms, I only used a few colours for this one

Victorian Velvet, Frayed Burlap, Antique Linen, Tattered Rose and Black soot.

The text behind the image is a Penny Black stamp which after stamping I have torn and distressed and added gold Stickles around the edges.  The paper is by Magnolia and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, have you checked out and bought your Chandeliers' from WOC I have not had the time to restock so I must get over there after finishing this post, bet I am too late and they have all gone.

006 Right I suppose I have had my half time break and had better get back to those little furry creatures that are waiting for me.
