Just for You

It's my friend Steven's birthday today, his mum is a crafter so I know she will be examining his card.

I decided to only sprinkle embossing powder on part of the stamped sentiment to give a two-tone effect. The background has been created with Versamark ink and clear and gold powders. Stamps are all SU.

How annoying is this?

For this card I played around with some SU stamps and decided to use some of their dictionary- style paper too.
Finished the card and only then noticed the wording printed on the paper "urinary tract infection".

Why on earth would you want that printed on your card/ layout?
I tried using a cocktail stick dragged in ink over the wording to hide it a little but it's still very noticeable.
Maybe I could give it as a get well soon card for someone having problems in that area?

This was for a challenge set by Lynn at my card club.

Lynn is a lovely lady and we have a good laugh (plus she watches the same sort of telly as me so we chat about that).

Anyway the challenge was to use one of Lynn's own rubber stamps so she would get some fresh ideas how to use it.

I stamped it with Stampin' Up ink and mounted it on matching cardstock. I used the same ink with a swirl stamp to create the patterned paper. Three gems for a bit of interest (I do tend to do that on a lot of cards I know).
