Promarkers: Cocoa, Buttercup, Rose Pink, Denim Blue, Lime Green, Canary, Pastel Blue, Duck Egg, Indigo Blue, Amethyst, Hot Pink and Pumpkin.

A Card for Cliff

I have been a bit naff at blogging lately. Loads of stuff to sort out to get our son in a specialist school had meant crafting has taken a bit of a back seat, but nothing like a last minute birthday card to solve that. I made this for our friend Cliff. Blokie cards are always difficult, so with remembrance day as my inspiration I made this little number.


Ingredients
Stamps: Sentiment stamp from 3 Birds Clearly Hand Stamped kit.
BG Papers: Plain card/paper stock from my stash.
Dies: Nestabilities Labels 1.
