Lei - that's gorgeous, can you explain how you did it & what you used?

Thank you I cut a small square of card then using my Distress Inks blended the colour in from the outside leaving a white area in the centre. I used pink first, masked off the moon then blended purple over the top. To finish it off I just stamped the silhouette over the top (from Earnies Stamps).

Lei thanks for the file, will catch up on blogs later or even before I go back up depending on how many there is! Love the silhouette picture. Are you still losing weight? How are you getting on? Xx

Yes still keeping it up - i've lost about 4.5 stone now! It's coming off slower and I had a lapse last week as stayed at OH's so no gym but determined to lose a couple more stone yet...

Lei - that card is stunningly beautiful. Which stamps have you used? I played around with silhouettes and distress inks a few weeks ago (the results of which are on my blog) and I loved it. I used a digital image from Stitchy's Stamps and some other acrylic stamps that I have, got good results with both. I haven't got a disk of the stamps - just got that set of stamps (some of the sets come with a DVD showing you how to create scenes, mine didn't though). Meant to say your GDT creations are gorgeous too. x

I used a single silhouette stamp (made life soo much easier) from here http://www.rubberstamps.buzzsites.co.uk/pages/silhouettes__37599.cfm
I've still got to be brave and try out my Create A Scene stamps though. Good luck with your hospital appointment and don't be nervous just think that you're getting it over with sooner.

Lei - well done on the weight loss that is fantastic!! a bit of a lapse is never a bad thing if you can stay on the wagon so to speak!

WBR I will keep everthing crossed for you re your hospital visit, at least you will get the result xxxxx

Rusty, is it me or is your blog playing up? I keep getting a photobucket message floating over the page and although I left a message it did not identify me (or the other person) as the poster?

Some really lovely makes on your blogs ladies Hugs to all who need them xx

Lovely card Rusty and i got the same as oap about the photobucket thing

The floating photobucket thingy is to do with your blog background you have to go into your layout settings and delete it, then choose another background from a different source. HTH
