Lift Challenge #16

Yep, I'm still alive! I had been away for a week to Cambridge, England. We attended classes in a language institute with fellow students from the Teachers Training College (Lerarenopleiding Engels). Attending a language course is compulsory in the course, but it is not the worst part :) We had classes from 9 am- 3.30 pm and after  school we could visit the city centre, shopping and having fun with each other. Cambridge is lovely and I'm still a bit homesick although I missed my dear husband during the week.

Monday and yesterday I read most of the blog posts I missed last week and yesterday evening it was time for me sitting in my craft room and create a new card! I needed a card for a friend who will celebrate her birthday tomorrow. I decided to join the lift challenge as it has been a long time ago since my last attempt. You can find the challenge here. And this is my lift:

I didn't have any pin, so I made two myself with wooden sticks. On the circle I stamped a doily, but on the picture it is hardly visible. The flower is punched out of tissue paper. The labels are inked with Antique linen and I stamped a grid on it. The sentiment is from PTI and the papers from Basic Grey. 

It wasn't the most easiest challenge I've ever done, but as a Dutch saying says 'oefening kweekt kunst' - exercises create art.

Thanks for coming by!
