Aging Beautifully!

Happy St Patricks day peeps! I am feeling so rough today and no....not self inflicted lol, no Guinness involved! Just one of those tummy bugs that like to hit the whole family, my son had it on Friday and it hit my daughter and myself last night. It didn't last too long with my son so hopefully it will be gone tomorrow. On a brighter note I got these fabulous stamps delivered on Friday and I'm in love with the 'Aging Beautifully' stamp set from Sheena Douglas, I had so much fun making the backgrounds to these cards and was over the moon by the effect I got with Sheena's stamps. The first card is using Crafters Companion 'Flowers from Bamboo' and I coloured it with promarkers, isn't he cute? The background is made with distress inks and the Aging Beautifully stamp set. The second card is much the same Crafters Companion image 'Toread' stamps and coloured with promarkers again the background is made using distress inks and Aging Beautifully stamp set. Right, I'm getting texts from my daughter.  (can you believe she's texting from her bedroom and we don't live in a mansion lol ) Enjoy the rest of your day. x





I am entering these cards into the following challenges:
Crafty Ribbons ~ One for the Boys
Cute Card Thursday ~ Anything Goes
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Passion for Promarkers ~ From around the world.
One Stop Craft Challenge ~ Anything Goes
