Make It Monday #26

Good golly anyone would think there was something wrong with me considering this is post number 3 for the week! lol

I thought it was about time I played along with Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday since I haven't for god knows how long!  This weeks challenge is to make a card using the Decreasing Apertures technique.........quite fun I have to admit!

I sat and made this card I'm about to show you, but I'm spewin' because in all my excitement of actually stamping the sentiment STRAIGHT for once, I smudged a bit of it with my finger somehow!  I've fixed it up now, but I can't be bothered to re-photgraph to you'll just have to pretend it's not there!!  ;)


I got the colour combination from the SU colour coach and I reckon its pretty nice!  The Pink Pirouette piece has had the Linen Impressions plate run over it (again) just to give it a bit of interest, but it would appear you can't see it much in the pic.  Again.........just pretend you see it! lol

Righto, well I'm off to boil the kettle.  I promised I'd have it boiled for when Maddy walks home from school.  We often have a cuppa together in the arvo to catch up on the days happenings!

Thanks for stopping by!
