It is AMAZING the number of people whom I've become friends with since starting this blog. I am thankful for each & every one. Recently, one of these new friends emailed me after reading THIS POST. She said she had some Rachelle Anne Miller stamps that she never used, & wanted to send them to me. About a week later, all the way from the UK, I received not one, not two, but FOUR RAM stamps!! And she wanted nothing in return. She said if I had time that she would love one of my cards. Not only that, but just yesterday I received some Magnolia stamps from her.....NEVER USED!! Again, she wants nothing!
ELAINE LIVESEY........you are a sweetheart!!! I will never be able to thank you enough for sending me all of these stamps!! I hereby swear to show each & every one you sent me lots of love!!!!!
So.....I couldn't wait to make a card with one of these cuties. You all know how much I *heart* my fur babies.....so I picked Lily holding her precious kitty!! I colored her with Prismas & gamsol, & added Cotton Candy Stickles to her hair bows, hearts, & the doodads around her. I used paper from my favorite K&Co pad....Wild Raspberry....& some DCWV paper embossed with Swiss Dots for the strip across. Some punched flowers, leaves, lovely organdy ribbon & a heart charm finish off this card.....my first RAM card using one of MY VERY OWN STAMPS!!!!
Here's a close up of Lily....isn't she precious?!??!
I did decorate the inside....but it's rather plain so I skipped the picture. Just used the same papers as the front....nothing special, lol!
Thank you again Elaine.....you are a treasure!!
