Do You Dream in Green???

...well, last week I got all inky and messy making some cards that are, let's face it, all the same apart from the colours... and whilst I was in a cardmaking mood... (this old Resolution is still going strong!) I decided to use a different stamp but the same technique to make a green shaded card.




Armed with only the greens from the Distress Ink range, I made a wrinkle free distress on my craft sheet and dipped the card into the ink until I liked the look. The stamp is another old fave of mine... by Stampers Anonymous and one of the first stamps I ever bought and very much ignored for most of its life with me! *baaaad Hels* Anyways, the centre has been repeat stamped twice, cut into to make a raised circled which was puffed with a paper stump... and then the D was cut around and same again, puffing... which I like the look of, makes the 3d-ing look neater. See that little sentiment? Well, that is also one of the first stamps I ever bought... in fact, I think it was the second one... and that has had a heap of use but I do still go back to it time and again because it is versatile... oh and I like what it says... which leads me nicely onto...



... my happy day today!!! Yes, indeedily, I am more than happy actually, in fact, it could be said that I am ever so slightly *oh, ok, over the top* excited because... Ellen is coming to stay again!!!! Yes, I may have mentioned before that Ellen was coming back to the Room of Stash in May... but... as a last minute (and ever so slightly insane) idea... she will be arriving here in.... FOURTEEN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I had better start a countdown otherwise I might forget to mention it every time I blog - you know, like I hardly mentioned her visit last time ROFL Don't worry though, I won't really go over the top and bore you all constantly with my days, hours, minutes thing... much!!! Anyways... isn't that just THE best news!!! I had better go and calm down again now... thank heavens I have kept the Room of Stash relatively tidy... see, I knew there was a reason really LOL Thanks for looking... TTFN
