Edna's Cup of Tea

Afternoon :)

This week over on the Stamping Bella Blog, we're featuring Edna. I love Edna. This particular Edna was perfect for the card I needed to make for a friend recently. It was a big birthday for her. Originally she had arranged a tea party to celebrate, but obviously that was not able to happen at the moment. Perhaps later in the year, but in the meantime, Edna's got this!

Sympathy So Deeply Sorry

Hello :)

I love the Sympathy So Deeply Sorry Clear Stamp Set from Whimsy Stamps. The flowers are beautiful and the selection of sentiments that go with are perfect for the occasion.

I've been playing with my pencils on kraft recently and wanted to see how they would look on dark card. The Derwent Lightfast have given quite a soft feel. Prismacolor normally pop on kraft card, so it will be interesting to see if they do on this card too.
