Papermill Direct Offer

Today's special offer from Papermill is

Ultra White Pearlised 300gsm - Small box for £7.50

This card is fantastic I've done everything to it with great results. I embossed the back ground and sentiment with an embossing folder and my Grand Calibur. I die cut the swirls too again using my Grand Calibur. Ive printed the image and sentiment from Darcy's Diaries out onto it and coloured it with Spectrum Noir pencils too. I really love how the embossing came out. 

This card would make really gorgeous wedding stationary too , it's really pretty.

You can find it on the special offers page on the Papermill Direct website here.

Morning, on Monday I received my new Spectrum Noir pencils but didn't have a chance to play until yesterday. So today I'd like to show you my first try at using them.

I've used a fab Gorjuss girl image and my pencils with blending fluid and stumps.

I really enjoyed using them and found them easy to blend , much easier than the pens in fact. 

Think I'll make her into a card later.

Im off to Hobbycraft and TKMax to see what goodies I can find,
