The challenge over at the jff challenge this week is bugs wings. I had this slightly bonkers idea in my head and just ran with it. I`ve never actually used my stamp of the lady with the hoover yet though I`ve had her for years, think she came with a set from QVC if I remember rightly. I think she looks quite posh so Margo suits her don`t you think ?. I always have trouble when it comes to finding a way of putting sayings on cards. I`ve now decided I would like one of those things that does the black labels with the white writing on it but I cannot remember what they are called for a start. If anyone can remind me I would be grateful. So I had to hand write in white gel pen on black card to get the effect I wanted for now. I used the wrinkle free distress ink technique for the background and Sir Tims bitty grunge stamps over the top. Her wings are from a butterfly stamp. I think it was wishful thinking that gave me the idea, I would love a housework fairy to come and do mine. I hate housework with a passion Lol. Thanks for looking x Vinny

  4. Hi Vinny. Love this. Margo really suits your lady. It made me giggle. For me a cup of tea first. Then another to think about cleaning. Then one more for luck! Brilliant!
    Best Wishes Florence.

  5. Fantastic take on this weeks challenge Vinny, just love the hoover image.

    Nah you don't need a dymo, your writing is much more unique to your fab piece.

    Thanks for playing along with us again this week over on Just for Fun - Sam xxxx

  8. Love this card and I too would like a housework fairy! The gadget is a Dymo and I think you should be able to get one in WH Smith or perhaps other stationery chain shop. You could get the similar results with the computer in Word I would think.

  12. A great fun card Vinny. Stick to handwriting. It's much more personal. I never use my dymo (except to label my stash drawers) and even in UK, I had trouble buying refil tape. Hope you've had a good half term. Kate x
