Hello it's me again, this is my second card this week, Mum and I did a Sketch Challenge at the same time today. I have 2 layers underneath the shopping image, the last one is scalloped. While Mum was doing hers I saw that she inked the embossed strip, so I thought I would give it a try while she wasn't looking. Below the image I have written my own sentiment in rainbow colours, which took a while LOL! Towards the end I got a little bit of my finger print on my sentiment which made me try putting my whole finger on the stamp pad and onto the piece of paper, which is next to the photo for you to see....I got a little bit messy - whoops!
The flowers are from my big sister Pat and I have attached them with blue brads. The perfume bottle is a stamp I got where Mum's good stamping friend Melinda80 works, it also has a handbag, shoe and a mirror which I used on my other card. The perfume bottle is raised on foam tape.
Thank you for all your comments and I hope to get back to you soon. (I could get the hang of this real soon!) Love from one happy little stamper, Maddy!
PS. Mum is threatening to lock her craft cupboard - I THINK she is joking LOL!

Maddy~ I wondered where you got that sentimeny! Right from your oun hands! Wow. I love the rainbow effect. Your colouring is beautiful, and the layout is fabulous! I especially like the scalloped edge- those always 'wake up' a card. I am so excited to see you are really getting into card making. How that must bless your mum to have more time with you doing things you both enjoy. Can't wait for the next creation Maddy! Keep it up lil sistah, you are doing great! XXXOOO

WOW, keep them coming happy little stamper, I just love to admire young talent blooming.
