More Pick a Petal.....

Brrrrr! Its cold outside in my craft room....

I didn't get to play yesterday as my computer was playing up and it wouldn't let me upload anything on Blogger!

I just saw the mouse again climbing up the honeysuckle to get the bird food I had hidden in there.....I love animals but if I see that mouse in my craft room, I will be chasing it with a broom like the old lady in her pinnie - from Tom and Jerry :-)xx
He would have a field day with my beloved cardstock......The food is now moved to another place.

I did worn you that I thought a PINK week was coming your way -

The first card is Pink Passion base, half of a sheet of cardstock folded in half - UK A5 size.
I used the stamparound wheel Petals with an uninked cartridge which I filled up with versamark ink. I ran this all over a piece of whisper white cardstock and embossed it with clear embossing powder. The stampin' up embossing powder is very fine, it could even be like the Detail sort! Then I used the Pretty in Pink inkpad with a Brayer and Brayered all over the top. I wiped off the excess with some tissue. Out pops the embossed petals......

Next I stamped over the top in Pink Passion the petals from the Pick a Petal stamp set. I just love the whisper white cardstock, the ink soaks right into it. I layered this piece onto some more whisper white and added a flower, jumbo eyelet and rhinestone brad. The Happy Birthday stamp is from the Ocassional Greetings stamp set.......



The base cardstock is again half a sheet of Pink Passion. I used the cuttlebug embossing folder tiny bubbles for the background. I stamped the spottie petal in Pixie Pink 6 times on whisper white and went over them in Pink Passion with the other petal. The 2 flowers and hat pin is from the Pretties Kit. I added a huge clear button in the centre after stamping one of the circles that come in the Pick a Petal stampset.

The ribbon is not SU - Its from Newbury craft show last year. I used the same Happy Birthday stamp again as above.

Hope you have a great day, I'm off to see a horror movie with my hubbie later. I think he chooses them on purpose to see me jump!

Thanks for looking,
Jenny:-)xx

PS. The answer was the PJ's! Our family love to have PJ's days and watch movies all day and do no work!!!

Gorgeous work Jenny ! Love how you've altered the paper with all that stamping. They sell these sticky wooden mats to catch the little mice humanely then you just release them outside!
