Childhood

When I first saw Sentimental Sunday’s Challenge this week – Childhood (+ sentiment) …. thank you Dorcas …. my immediate thought was something dreamy, floaty, whimsical and then I found this delightful image here which I knew was just perfect for Childhood …. nothing like floaty with those colours …. but I love it.

The prize for entering the challenge is awesome not only do you get four individual sentiment sets but you also get a custom watermark/signature set from the Custom Designs at Whimsy Stamps. There’s more …. remember for one week only you can pick up your weekly freebie from Tameko’s Sentiments as well …. whew so much. Worth winning ladies look at my super duper watermark.

Sentiment is adorable and comes from Raindrop Echo Designs …. still love that name …. Chew Cute Sentiments …. sale on this set at the moment with 50% off …. couldn’t be better.

Please also take a stroll and meander into your own childhood with all the delightful and inspirational work from the other teamies …. just gorgeous, especially the use of their sentiments. When reading them I felt that really feel good factor of times gone by in my own childhood.

Feel all gooey and content at the moment but down to earth and my card …. really like making these Z fold cards, you just open the card out, score down the middle on the front panel and fold back …. easy peasy …. Bob’s your uncle, Fanny’s your aunt etc., …. decorate as normal. Coloured the image using pro-markers and the papers are from Basic Grey and K & Co.

Really wanted to do whimsical and floaty so made another card to share with you. Entering for: My Partner in Crafting Crime – Marker Madness

  3. Hi Shirley,
    I love your card, that image is just fabulous for the theme! Thanks for the comment on my blog. And no, your eyes were not deceiving you, the pink paper was cut with the Tim Holtz on the edge scroll work die. The white card I used for the base has such a beautiful shimmer to it I wanted to show some more of it!
