I have watched with amazement at some of the cards that people can make when they are faced with the challenges like mojomonday etc. SO finally I plucked up the courage to have a little try myself.
I am not saying it is perfect but it is a card I am happy with for my first challenge attempt.
I used labels five from the spellbinders nestabilities range, the largest on the front and the largest and third largest inside.
I then used a sheet of Kanban 300gsm card with paws on it that I saw in a craft shop many moons ago, had no idea why I was buying it but was drawn to the little puppy paws all over it.
The strips are just scraps from my never ending box of little bits I dare not throw away.
Then as a top for the strips I used the Laurence Lowellyn Bowen vellums which are a bit 'out there' but sometimes can just add enough of a touch to make me happy.
The dog stamp came from a set I was given as a gift, daisy and dandylion, candyfloss and such like they are all cute dogs, elephants, and are fun for both adult and child to use. They are by DOcrafts and very affordable. I buy lots of little stamp kits like this to encourage my kids to craft with me and this time I felt compelled to stamp a happy little dandylion on the front with his birdy chum inside.
Finally the ribbon is one inch satin and just from the sewing shop in town nothing fancy and the just for you stamp is one I have picked up somewhere or other no idea where but it seemed to be sentiment enough to finish the card off.
Yes I know I cannot tell you much about the products I used, that tells you I have too many to keep track of, now I just need to make more use of them.
