created by hand: bubbles


The themes at Created by Hand this week are "out with the old" and "bubbles" I went with the "bubbles" for my image, but I also "got out my old" ( geddit?) making memories hole punches and hammer to allow me to make holes exactly where I wanted on my card. I rarely use these anymore since getting my cropadile, but I have a feeling now it's out, I'll be using it more.

The image is a stamp (bubbles post 7703-H ) by the frantic stamper


I gave the main image a bit of a "lift" by masking round it and spraying with iridescent spray and sparkle, but I don't think it shows that well on the photos.
