I have had an awful day crafting, I made some shopping bags with T shirt transfer paper, I was so thrilled I took them into work and was asked to do another 20! WEll, I ironed for three and half hours on these bl..dy bags and have some that have worked well, 2 I had to throw out, the rest will have to see if they accept them. I am sooooooooooooooo disappointed as everyone thought my designs great. I could cry as I had invested money in my new little venture! We in Wales have to pay 5pence for a plastic carrier bag if we have one from a shop, so everyone is using recyleable or "proper" shopping bags, this was going to be a little thing I could do when I retire to keep me busy and make a little extra to suppliment my pension. Failure is something I don't do well, so will have to think of something else to do with the bags I bought.
One of the things I have done is this card, the criteria was black and white and classy and was for a husband and wife, hope it meets its needs. It had to go into the post so I didn't add to much weight or height. I used an image from TLC Vintage I coloured their skin in PS and the digi papers, which I paper pieced in PS, are from Summertime Designs and Pink Petticoat. I used black card from Hobbycraft, which is only 170mg great for layering and not too heavy. I also printed the shaped black & white paper and the image on eggshell gloss paper from Cuddly Buddly, bling added was a present to me a couple of years ago so don't know where that came from and added 3D Gloss to the greeting. Hope you like it.

This card is a beauty Faith! I love the way the lady's skirt appears to be swishing out of the frame. I'm sorry to hear you had problems with the transfers on your bags, it sounds so frustrating. I know you'll think of a way round it - you are so resourceful! Vicky x
