Yet again I am thrilled to have been the lucky recipient of not one but two random acts of kindness or RAKs! The adorable Jane Beljo emailed me her sweet digi-stamp of Mia and Bosko. How kind!
I especially wanted to post this little card today as Jane has just launched her new digital stamp set called Jane's Bakery over at Squigglefly! The set is a real bargain at $3.00 as there are lots of different images to play with!
The second RAK comes in the form of the cute gingham ribbon on this card. This pretty ribbon, and other goodies, arrived with an eBay purchase from someone who trades as 'Mindysmummy'. How kind is that!!!!
I printed Mia and Bosko onto some plain white card and coloured them with Promarkers. I added some Diamond Glaze to accentuate the little heart on Mia's jersey. This was my first attempt with Diamond Glaze and I was a bit shocked at how quickly it oooooozed from the bottle! The background is the Hero Arts digital friendship stamp, printed on some textured blue card. I layered the image and embossed half the base card with my Cuttlebug.
I wanted to leave the card very simple to showcase Mia and Bosko, so just added the ribbon and those little red punched hearts.
I am going to enter this card for Raise the Bar Challenge #2 as the theme is the 'Gift that keeps on giving' otherwise known as 'RAK'!
As a final little RAK I'd like to send this card to someone who is sweet enough to leave a comment on this post. Please make sure that I can back track to your blog to contact you. I will be using the very technical 'names in a hat' method to make the draw!
Happy crafting everyone!
