Welcome, and thank you for visiting.
I apologise for not posting for so long, but there have been various reasons for my absence, not the least being that I was having difficulties (read senior blonde moments) with my photo-editing program, Photoscape - thankfully we visited our son and his wife the other day, and my daughter in love so graciously gave me a tutorial, and also pointed me to an online tutorial, which has been a great help.
I recently received a gift from a fellow member of the Splitcoast Stampers group Stamp Addicts. It was a wee portfolio of card blanks. I needed a Thank You card, so started with one of the blanks, and the accompanying off cuts, and a sketch from A Die For A Sketch.

I love this web ribbon and the colour was an almost perfect match with the background,
The diecut was a Spellbinders labels 10 which I embossed and sponged to highlight the sentiment.
The final touch was a row of pearls under the sentiment and along the base of the other layer.
I love the subtle colour way of these papers, and the way they can be mixed and matched.
