Wedding Card

I have been asked to make a wedding card and I have used a lovely foam stamp from La Blanche of a bride kneeling. I stamped in Versafine Sepia onto cream card and then mounted this onto gold mirri and gold glitter card. Over the top I have put parchment and the ribbons in each corner are from a Joanna Sheen set as is the sentiment. I have glittered the flowers in her hair, boddice and sleeve on both the main image and over the parchment. Then added a gold ribbon to the side to finish off.

Unbelievable!!!!

Well, for once I am totally lost for words............... which doesn't happen too often!! LOL

Just over a week ago I ordered a set of four La Blanche foam Christmas stamps from QVC. I already have some of these foam stamps and they give a lovely crisp image and are very reasonably priced. Anyway, they arrived on the doorstep yesterday afternoon and I quickly opened the packet to be faced with this:

Two stamps were perfectly okay; unopened etc. But the other two had been hacked around with a craft knife and stamped using, I think, Staz-on ink!!!! Now, correct me if I'm wrong but the only person who says she cuts round these foam stamps is Dawn Bibby herself........... I've never found the need myself but heyho!!


I immediately rang QVC asking why I had been sent secondhand goods and the guy at the other end of the phone said "I'm not sure I would call them secondhand"........ well when my OH had scraped me down from the ceiling I asked what else he would call cut and used stamps but secondhand. He then said he had never heard of this happening before and is sending me a free returns label............ I will be very interested to hear what they have to say!! Watch this space.

Thank You slide card

A quick card made this afternoon in black and white. The stamp is from La Blanche and is totally made of foam. These stamps, I find, give a remarkably good image - very crisp and clean.
