Rose Thank You Card using Spellbinders Clear Stamps (STP-001 and STP-005)

A couple of days ago, I found out that I was the name drawn to receive a set of 12 Spellbinders Clear stamps, courtesy of Hope and Chances Creativity.  My fabulous prize arrived today and I decided to get cracking and make a thank you card using the new stamps.

For the rose itself, I used three stamps from the set STP-001, and three shades of Versafine Ink:  "Charming Pink" for the base, the middle shade is 'Glamorous" and the darker shade is "Purple Delight".  The leaf is from the same set and I used two shades of Versafine Clair ink.  The base colour was "Shady Lane" and the lighter colour on the top is "Verdant".

The sentiment is from the set with the reference number of STP-005 and was stamped in Versafine Clair "Purple Delight".

I'm a winner - Hope and Chances Creativity Draw

I purchase from Christine Emberson's  Hope and Chances Creativity website reasonably often as I use some of the adhesives they sell and obviously end up buying a die or two too.

Recently, they have changed their website, to celebrate they had a prize draw of a fab set of Spellbinders Stamps.  All you had to do was purchase from their new site, which obviously wasn't a problem for me!  

This morning I received notification that my name had been drawn, so this fab set of stamps is heading my way.  What a way to start the new week!

Hope & Chances Charity Kit - Gift Bag

I was making a purchase from the Hope and Chances website a couple of days ago and decided to pop one of their charity kits into my shopping basket.  The proceeds from the sale of these kits go to the Ronald McDonald House Charity.

This April 2018 Charity kit consists of instructions and everything you need to make the project (with the exception of adhesive). As soon as my order arrived today, I got cracking to make the decorated gift bag, the instructions were incredibly easy to follow and within minutes I had this little gift bag completed.
