A teeny, tiny wish

Good morning all, hope you've had a great weekend. Now that my craft room is fairly what sorted I've managed a bit of crafting this weekend.


Called into Hobbycrafts the other day and found this gorgeous First Edition paper pad called Spring Drop - half the pad is glittered papers and the other half double-sided. This card uses both sides of one of the double-sided which I've distressed with my new distressing tool then used Fired Brick DI. This is my first attempt at stamping and colouring on kraft card, I quite like the result although it was very difficult to pick the colours.
I decorated the inside to match.


  • Image and Sentiment: Penny Black ( bought this set at the SECC in October and this is it's first outing!)
  • Papers: First Edition 
  • Medium : Promarkers
  • Embossed border: Cuttlebug (also on it's first outing)
  • Corners: Spellbinders
  • Butterfly: Marianne Designs
  • Ribbon flowers, ribbon and pearls from my stash

Challenges entered:
Stamp n Doodle - country living
Cooking it up with Katie - pink, posies, pearls
I Love Promarkers - cute and cuddly
Art Impression Stamps - pink, pink and more pink
DYSU - pink
Phindy's Place - tic tac toe (pearls, ribbon and flowers)
Stampin for the Weekend - out with the old (although papers are new everything else is old and mostly unused until now!)
OSATT - anything goes
Pile it On - fuzzy friends
Sunday's with Chrissy - warm and sunny
Let's Ink it up - anything goes
