Wow another week flown by..... I'm still here just taking a bit of a break from the ol' blog, not planned, just happened that way due to a few factors and this weekend we have family here so I will be back properly after the weekend :0)
So you want to know what the new challenge is at CASual Fridays!!.... well this week we challenge you to get your Vellum or Acetate into use on your projects and if you take on this task you could win yourself six Paper Smooches stamp sets designed and donated by our very own talented Girl Friday, Karolyn Loncon :0)
Well I shudder at the word 'acetate' so instead, I dusted down the box of vellum I have stashed away and after looking through some of the rather loud colours I have accumulated, came up with the idea of making a homemade ice lolly or popsicle depending which side of the pond you live!!!
I found some Scotch Vellum Tape which is great stuff and the only adhesive I have found not to show through vellum so it was easy to layer a couple of pieces together for the lolly.
Please pop by the blog to see the details of the fab prize and the oodles of inspiration on view for you from the rest of the Girl Fridays... see you in the players gallery :0)

ReplyDeletePure love for this card, Jenny! The bright summery colors and design are brilliant!
