Shadow Stamping...

Hello me lovelies

I was hoping to have this blog post up before now but i had a doctors appointment this morning to have some bloods taken because a couple of weeks back i went to doctors for a tablet check and the nurse had noticed i was poorly again so she decided it was best to take some bloods to see what's going on.
Anyhoo they came back that i have slightly high Cholesterol and that they think i might have Diabetes so they wanted another blood test to check the numbers again so i went to have them done again this morning, i will get the results back next Tuesday so lets see what that brings!!

Right me lovelies enough of the old waffle about me and on with today's card...it's a one layer card with shadow stamping on it and the reason for this is because as i've been having a good old nosey around blogland i had seen lots of stunning cards with this fab technique on so i thought i'd give it a go and this is what i have come up with...hope you likey :)

I was also inspired by this lovely weather we are having at the moment so i thought i'd add a orange circle which represents the lovely warmish weather we are having and it's nice to see that beautiful sun in the sky.

Products i have used...

Stamps...Marion Emberson "On your Special day" stamp set

Papers and card...White card {stash}

Ink...Stampin Up "Pumpkin Pie" ink pad, Momento Tuxedo black ink pad
