A Friendship Recipe

This is a card I`ve made for my friend Jane who`s birthday it is today. I`ve used one of the new LOTV stamps that I purchased at the NEC last Thursday. I`ve coloured the image with distress inks, the backing paper is SU and the punch is Martha Stewart Doily Lace. The ribbon is plain satin that I`ve just ruffled onto a strip of double sided tape and I made the cupcake embellishment using SU scallop and tag punches.
The NEC was a fab experience, this is the first time I`d gone to the spring show, I usually just make a once a year pilgrimage in November but I`ll deffinately go again next spring. It was great to finally meet Monica Gale who is a SU demonstrator who`s blog I`ve been following for ages, she`s a lovely lady and it was brilliant to meet her in person.
I probably spent way too much but I am a lost cause especially when it comes to stamps LOL ! I also stocked up on some essentials as well as some lovely new ribbon and embellies.
Well, I`m off to drop Jane`s card and prezzie round to her now, thanks for visiting, bye for now and happy crafting xxx
