My card for today is made entirely with Lord Tim of Holtz product and a THE Wendy Vecchi stamp. You know Tim ... the man that hand paints all the tulips in Amsterdam while personally adding the glitter to every pot of stickles with just a Charm Clip and a tiny attacher.
Before using the embossing folders I coloured the card with Broken China Distress Stain ... then swiped over the raised parts with a Vintage Photo Distress Ink Pad. A bit of distressing around the edges and a quick blend with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink and the panels were complete.
Thank you all so much for keeping me entertained yesterday with your comments ... I knew you would n't let me down!
I do have to add that there was absolutely no bloomin' way I was up at 5:00am ... the post was indeed scheduled to coincide with midnight in Ohio which is where Simon Says Stamp is based and the time that the weekly Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge themes are published!
Right ... now I need to know what you are all wearing to THE wedding ... as preeviously stated ... I shall be sporting a Bridesmaid dress ... and if I don't know what you are planning to wear ... well I may just miss you in the crowds :0)
I must away ... I am up to my eyes in Birthday cards today ... trust me when I say ... nearly everyone I know must have been born in April!
Laters!

Love the card. Look forward to your countdown to Holland!
Holland is so lovely and so are the people, we visit sometimes as my husband has family there as his mother was Dutch. The pancakes are absolutely gorgeous, sure you will enjoy them. If you have time visit Keukenhof because it is so beautiful when the tulips are out, and if you want to see a lot of windmills then go to Kinderdijk.
Have a great time.
I hope you read every less little bit of this message as I've waited patiently (sort of!) for 3 minutes before Blogger decided to play ball - grrrrrhhhh!
Hope you have a lovely time in Holland. It's a grand old place. Van Gogh's museum is a must if you have a spare minute or two.
Love your piece and may even be inspired to get my sticky canvas out. Blog crawling isn't my thang (Im much more of a hopper)!!!
Can you not smuggle me away in your suitcase? ;)
Have an awesome time. And that HRH Tim pop out stll keeps making me chuckle!
Your trip sounds ab Linda, have a great time ... I'm sure you will:)Loving the card.
Linda - Ede will be fab - lived there for 13 years. Great shops, huge bags of crisps, chocolate on your bread and indeed the scrummiest pancake house ever!!!! De Craftorij is heaven - was there last week...be afraid, be very afraid oh credit card...You must go the whole hog and jump on a bike wearing clogs and pedal up to the "Hei"!!!
Sarah.
