One Layer


Good morning crafty friends.
A bit cool and showery here today!

Today's card features one of the first stamps I bought, called Birds on a wire
I stamped it directly onto my inked background, masking, so that I could colour one bird in red
The sentiment was also printed directly from my computer, and I finished by stamping the 2 corners

Birthdays


Hello everyone

Today's card features 2 very old stamps, but I thought the went well together. I stamped the cake onto a snippet from my scrap box, and embossed with silver ep. I then used my stitched oblong die to cut it to size. The candles are coloured with Sakura silver sparkle pen, and I finished off with 3 purple gems to match.

Woodgrain


 welcome back!

 today's card is my interpretation of instructions  I saw on how to make a panel background from Gina K
I used a woodgrain embossing folder and swiped  di ink pads down and added more colour with a sponge.
The image was rescued from my scrap box, and I am not sure where it came from. 
I layered it on dark green to match my base card and then added a sentiment on a flag to finish

Tropical Flamingo


Hello everyone

Today's card was made entirely from bits and pieces from my scrap box, apart from the base card, which has a slight fleck in it.
I cut out the flamingo and tropical leaves using my Cameo Silhouette, and added some shading to some of the pieces. I also added a matching green border
 The yellow flowers were diecut from a small piece that had been dry embossed. The flower centres were also diecut from some black scraps. I raised three of the flowers with mounting tape

Your Special Day


Welcome to my blog today.

Did you know that you could be missing comments from your blog?
I discovered quite by accident that if you click on 'comments' in the left panel, and then 'awaiting moderation' you may find a number of comments that have not been posted!

Back to my card!
 I have followed the lovely sketch at 'Stay Crafty with Hero' using some very pretty Kaisercraft 'Memory Lane Collection' papers. I added some subtle stamping to the vertical strip with my French Script" stamp, and also sponged all edges with Frayed Burlap DI. I also added some fines glass beads to the centre of the flowers
