    I used a piece of Grid Paper and marked out a 3.7cm line (ie half of the 7.4cm width) to aid the eye... this was temporarily stuck onto the underside of my thin (Metallic die) plate so everyone could use it all the classes... worked like a charm!

13. Stamp greeting AND Everyday Label Punch

Charming Cafe Wreath Card... and a colour challenge...

A quick little share of a card made for a Team Colour Challenge... though I didn't think I would get time to create anything as I am on a 4 class creating marathon this week...

But the colour combination was too good not to play... Night of Navy, Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake and Tranquil Tide... completely "up my street"...

Though some of you may spot that I did actually forget to use Tranquil Tide and Chocolate Chip!! I blame the fact that I was using Stampin Blends and so had to use Memento Black Ink... though that is a white lie... as I did just forget!

And I do have to laugh at myself... 3 stamp sets on such a simple card!!!  

I had made and coloured the Charming Cafe wreath parts and Lots Of Happy flowers & leaves earlier in the week... and then I used my "chopped up" Perennial Birthday greeting stamp when pulling it all together today... as that happened to be out looking at me... 

More details on my greeting stamp "chop up" here...

Oh and I also forgot the Soft Sky bit too... and popped my panel onto a Pool Party card blank at the very last minute! 

In fact it was a bit of a comedy of errors... as I made another minor mistake too... but I will admit to that when I create what was intended... as I am being quite picky with myself... 

Luckily I love my simple little card! Mistakes and all... So I am quite happy for a quick re-make along the same lines...
