Hope Jacare Doodles

Hello again,

Sorry for posting two in quick succession but I am away all day tomorrow helping a friend move house so I won't be able to post... which leads me nicely into this post :)

This card is for my dear friend Clare who is moving to my home town! Woo Hoo Yay! And this card is a Good Luck/Welcome to the neighbourhood offering :D

This card uses the sketch this week at The Sweet Stop

This week is a sketch with a spin! Thats right a little added twist :)
And this week is to include some dry embossing! Exciting eh!?

So here is what I came up with.



I know its pink and black again.. this just got me in the mood :D
As you can see I turned the sketch on its side but everything else is the same!
The embossing is there... you can probably just about see the flower prints... I haven't photo'd it very well :)

I came across the wonderful designer who is Hope Jacare whilst doing my DT work at IDIC.
Her images are stunning, so whimsical and beautifully created. So I went on a mini spending spree and got some... this one Mouse House was perfect for the occasion :)

This card also fits in with the challenge running over at Charisma Cardz this week which is Good Luck (Good Luck in the new house)

It also also fits in with this weeks challenge at OSAAT which is New (New House)

I hope you like it :)

Stamp: Mouse House by Hope Jacare

Inks and things: Watercoloured and some inking around the edges

Papers: Pink backing paper and black paper from paper mill shop. The patterned paper is from stash.

Odds and Sods: Ribbon from stash and the fower is Prima flower. The buttons are from Papermania. The sentiment was generated in word.

That really is it from me tonight now!

Goodnight all
