'BEST WISHES' CARD

BEST WISHES by Sue Lark
Here's a lovely card by one of our Design Team, Sue Lark.

'Best Wishes' is a perfect Autumn/Winter card: moody blues, bruised skies, lowering trees... very atmospheric! I particularly love the way Sue has split this into two horizontal scenes - either one would have made a great card, but the two together are just perfection.

Sue has used a Stampers Anonymous stamp for the backgrounds, and these Crafty Individuals stamps: trees and buildings.

'SUNDAY BEST' ATC

Copyright Susie Jefferson

Here's a fun ATC for you, using the Sunday Best stamp from my own Thank Heavens UM stamp sheet  - very quick to do, and you can use up your favourite scraps of patterned papers too!

I stamped the image twice - once on smooth white card, using black Staz-On ink - and again onto scrapbooking paper. Then all I had to do was cut out around the coat and mount that onto the first image. Finally, I cut round the image using a deckle edged paper cutter, and mounted that to the same patterned paper, again cut with the same deckle edge.

This would make a great topper for a card when in a hurry - or even a row of little girls, all with different papers for the dresses.

Hope you like it!
