2 sketches for you...

As soon as I saw this sketch I knew that I had to enter this challenge - so simple but really effective, I liked all the DT cards and their takes on the sketch are great. I decided to use the SU set Fresh Cuts and get my window punch out for only its second outing! I chose to use the colour combination craft and basic black as I think these look great together. I stamped the image in craft ink on craft card and inked the edges, then decoupaged the leaf on the right hand side of the image with dimensionals. I then took a piece of black cardstock and added whisper whited ribbon to the middle of this. I out three brads from my stash in the top left of the card and stamped the sentiment also from fresh cuts in craft ink onto black and punched this out using the window punch.

I hope you like the card I appreciate all your comments and thanks for looking - Debbi x x x

The-Ashton-Dukinfield-Craft-and-Stamping-Meetup-Group/

Here is how my dining room looks for the crafty group I have set up - The first meet was nearly two weeks ago and we had lots of fun, people bring there own projects to work on and we get together to have a chat, laugh and eat cakes! What better way to spend an evening... As this was the first meet I had prepared everyone a box that I had decorated and put a few bits and pieces in, as way of thanks for joining the craft group. So if you are in the locality of Manchester why not join the group. There is a link on the left hand side, we now have 13 members you could be the next.

The box was made from a template from Stamp ith Us and was decorated in Stampin! Up ribbon and designer papers. I used the new oval punches which look really effective and I stamped a 'just for you' sentiment.

And here are the lovely ladies crafting and I believe having a good time... The next club is meeting next Tuesday again at my dining room - check out the meet up site and come and see us!

Thanks for looking - I will post a card tomorrow - busy busy week and been to Newcastle for Girls Aloud - who were both very beautiful and amazing! Bye for now Debbi x
