Simply Growth

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by!  It is Sunday evening here and what a weekend I must say - like a number of places in Australia we have been on high alert for bush fires and even on the verge of  waiting for the word to evacuate - thankfully the risk was downgraded and the weather settled - I am still watching for updates in other areas...we are due for a long and HOT summer and will need to be on the alert.


I have managed to have a little time in The Studio and managed to create something a little different using a Penny Black Inc clear stamp set.  I have stamped the image using Imagine Memento Ink in Lulu Lavender and Grey Flannel inks.  The have been fussy cut/hand cut using scissors and popped up onto a cut/embossed Die cut using the second and third smallest dies from the Spellbinders A2 Modern Stationery Card Creator Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine - using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.


The layered image has been adhered to the left side of the card front using double sided tape. 
The sentiment is from the edge of patterned paper - possibly Authentique Paper - please let me know if you are sure where it is from.  This has been adhered to slightly larger card stock and adhered using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.  Hand doodling has been added around the edge of the card front, which has been layered onto a pre-cut green card base.
