First Ever Post da dahhhh.........

Well I never thought this day would come but yes I have finally got round to writing my first ever post! Wooo Hooo!!! At this point my Stampin up buddy Nicki has probably passed out with shock hehe.....
Anyway here is the frist project that I want to share with you all. It was made at my last Wednesday club.

The Base is an easel design made using the Whisper White Card all edges are then daubed with crumb cake ink, as my ladies from my class know I do love a bit of daubing it hides a multitude of sins.
To make the topper I used cherry cobbler card and rounded the corners using the stampin' up! punch, I then applied two strips of ribbon the stripped grosgrain ribbon in soft suede and the new pleated ribbon in riding red hood.

The rossette was made using a strip of twitterpated designer paper, which I edged using the border punch and scored using my new favourite tool..... the Simply Scored Scoring Board, it makes life so easy! I then applied an antique brad to finish it off.

I used a stamp from the Apothecary Art set, coloured it using stampin up markers and a blender pen to give it a water colour finish. i am the least artistic person when it comes to painting but these pens make it possible for anyone to create a fab finish. Framelits dies which coordinate perfectly with this stamp set were then used to cut this out. Finally using the Happy Birthday greeting, again from the Apothecart Art stamp set, I used chocolte chip ink and applied it to the top of the image sticking on a few gems for a bit of bling.

On the base of the card i applied a piece of cherry cobbler card, twiitterpatted designer paper & a small piece of pleated ribbon to hold the card in place.

Well that it my first post over, I do hope you like it!

I hope you all have a fab Jubilee weekend! We are going to losts of garden parties at the local pubs with a group of freinds and family, I can't think of a better way to celebrate the weekend just hope the sun makes an appearance.

Love Hayley x
