I'm really lucky to have lots of fabulous friends but at the top of todays list is Gwyneth. Not only has she treated me to a hot stone massage but I had my dinner there too. So I'm fed and completely spoilt, total bliss.
I do have a couple of cards to share with you today. This one was inspired by challenges at:
The Crafty Pad - rainbow- Cameron's ChallengeOne Stitch at a Time - rainbow - Cameron's Challenge
A Passion for Papertrey - punch it
I got my brayer and a Big & Juicy ink pad (Happy Birthday) out to make the background for this card. The white piece is raised with the bird images recessed into it. I got the idea from the box frames that I've been doing some work on lately. I made the white strip with a 1" squarepunch.
Stamps - PTI sign language, everyday button bits (sentiment)
This one was inpsired by challenges at:
Chicken Soup - recipe #11
Friday Sketches - sketch #119
The ABC Challenge - D is for Distressing
Cupcake Craft - sketch challenge

The patterned paper was made using cosmic shimmer sprays. The base card was stamped in worn lipstick distress ink and then more ink was added using cut 'n' dry foam. It's great as it allows you to build up the depth of colour.
The lovely butterfly is a Cuttlebug die with matching embossing folder
Stamps - PTI - spiral bouquet.
If ever I haven't expalined something or you have a question then just leave me a comment and I'll get back to you.
I hope you're as relaxed as me.
