Money makes the world go round...

Goodness me, the that time has certainly rolled around quick again!

The Weekend is upon us! Yay!

It's Friday! Yay!

And that means it's a brand new dare on the Daring Cardmakers Blog! Yay!

It's Svenja's turn to challenge us this week and our theme is all about money, money, money!

Make a money-themed card, e.g. for money as a present, use coins or banknotes or money-elements on your card or even invent your very own currency!

So I already had a good idea of what I wanted to use on my card, a gorgeous stamp I'd bought from a friend intending to use it lots and lots and well... here it is on its first outing I believe:

I must have stamped this about a dozen times in different colours, ink types, and on different backgrounds, but it was either too dull or clashed too much with the paper collection I wanted to use. So the end result is a very subtle impression stamped with Prima pastel peach chalk ink on cream card:

Paper: Basic Grey
Stamps: Stampers Anonymous, Waltzing Mouse
Die: MFT
Other: Distress Stickles, fabric trim, silk ribbon, lace and flower and rosette elements from my fab mystery egg box by Ang.

You can just about make out that bank note in the background right? My scraps of that fab arrow paper from Basic Grey are almost gone now. It has made an appearance on many a project - think I can squeeze out one more with it though!

Well, it's a crafty night for me at our crop tonight, hoping to restock some of my Easter cards as they have all sold for Macmillan... :)

this is so scrummy and romantic. I think the pale ink just adds to the card

I love this, it's gorgeous! Every time you use that stamp set it reminds me that I must buy it.

Not surprised your cards sold out!

The stamp is great. It's not that easy to spot.
I think it's like a reward or surprise for people who really appreciate your cards and have a close look at them =)

That stamp is sooo cool! Do you know what company it came from? And if they still sell it?
And I love what you made of it. I'd never have thought of using a stamp like this with such a subtle colour but it's absolutely perfect. Love it!
