Stampin Sunday

Actually, not so much of the stamping as it was punching, but that did not have the same ring to it! Our February workshop is based around a "punches" theme and I have seen a few things around cyber space that I have been wanting to give a go, in preparation. This first card was very unplanned, I knew I wanted to make a flower out of the oval shapes, but I did not really know how the card would turn out. It was a matter of sitting and playing (my favorite way to make cards!) I am pretty happy with the result. It is kind of cute huh? I think I should have used paper instead of ribbon for the stem and leaves though.
I made some grass with my paper snips, that was fun!And of course, chunky glitter, my favorite!I have been wanting to give this one a whirl for a very long time. The idea came from one of the first kind of "novelty cards" I came across on here on split coast way back when. I didn't have my computer on to the look up the original design so I just sketched it out on scrap paper and gave it a whirl. It was very fun and quick to make, so I made 2. I can give one to my hubby's Mum whose birthday is coming up in Feb...she loves to cook.

No I think the ribbon makes that card, you are so creative, I love it! I also really like the apron idea! There is an award for you over at www.kelliewinnell.com.au xx
