My House

Evening peeps 

My second day back at work and I am exhausted, they are expecting more and more from their colleagues but are cutting back on the hours they give us.  Not sure how much longer I can keep up the pace.

Anyway, I wanted to make a Halloween card, because of the limit time I have gone with a clean and simple one layer card.

The digital stamp is from Bugaboo Stamps and I have used a ProMaker just to highlight the windows and lantern.

Other materials used are:

White card stock

Memento Grape Jelly ink pad

Nuvo Black vintage drops

An Autumn Birthday

Evening peeps

I have really missed going to craft shows over the last couple of years, finally they had Crafting Live in Peterborough.  It was a 3 hour drive, but there isn't one in Kent until next year, so we decided the drive was worth it.  An added bonus, I have a week off work, so lots of time to pay with all my new goodies.

Anyway, tonight I have made a clean and simple Birthday card using two digital stamps from Bugaboo.  They have been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

Other materials used are:

White card stock

Brown card stock

Patterned paper
