Papertake Weekly Challenge GDT card

4:11 AM | Labels: ,

Good Afternoon to you all my wonderful crafty friends.
I hope you are well and having a good week.
Thank you so much for your kind comments on my recent cards, it means so much to me.

I'm here today to let you know about the new Papertake Weekly Challenge.
This week the theme is

Two by Two
use 2 images, or papers or types of embellishments e.t.c.

The sponsor for this challenge is Whiff of Joy who will be giving a gorgeous stamp to the lucky winner.


For my card I have used the same image twice and two different papers.
This is the card I made for my beautiful youngest daughter (it was her birthday in August). She loves music and is currently learning to play the guitar thus my choice of stamp.
I covered the stamped images with a Wink of Stella glitter pen which you cannot see on my photos, it looks so much prettier in real life.
Sorry there are so many photos of this one, it was quite tricky to get a decent picture.

You can see the pretty glitter effect on the paper on this one

Stamp - Inkadinkado Folk Guitar
