No Punches or Wizard Arrrrgghhhh!!!

I decided to enter the Cute Card Thursday challenge tonight although i have to admit it was torture. There challenge this week is to create a card but not use any punches or cutting machines. I thought it would be a breeze as I have my Wizard for less than 2 months, but no it was hard to fight off the temptation not to use it.

In the end I came up with the below card, all the cutting has been done by hand or with my trimmer, even the envelope was made with a template and cut by hand. When I do a DL sized card I always like to make my own envelope using the same pattern/coloured paper.

















I used a stamp with one of my favourite animals on it, just wish that I had a memory like an elephant as I can't remember who made the stamp, but it came in a square of 4 smaller squares each with a darling elephant. After I made it I sealed it up ready to put with the other 120 for the fair and then realized I forgot to take a photo, thats why there is a little bit of shine to the card because I took it through the cellophane bag.

Now I have to go wrap another parcel for ebay and then I'm turning in for the night, I'm coming down with a cold so the more rest the better.

Happy crafting
