Scorpio birthday

 


My youngest son's birthday was this month, and this is the card I made for him.

The design was from an old magazine called 'Cardmaking with Paper Sculpture' and includes all the Zodiac signs by Greg Sukendro.

I used some yellow scraps to cut out the scorpian, but did not reduce the pile much!

Buttons and bows

 


Hello everyone, back again today with a card for some more challenges.

After a long conversation with Canon (printers) I have managed to get my scanning sorted, thank goodness!

The background is some spotty paper which I swiped over with Honey Dew Mist, Glimmer Mist, so it has a very subtle sparkle. I selected butterflies from various stamp sets, stamped onto blue card and embossed with white detail EP. The sentiment is on a piece of torn vellum and I have added a strip of blue card overlaid with sheer ribbon, a lace motif, and a blue button

Challenges:-

Hi there, sorry I have been missing in action.

I recently purchased a new PC which runs win 11, and it has been quite a change from my old win 7 PC.

I have had to resolve a number of issues, mainly with help from youtube, and now I have struck another problem where blogger won't upload photos. For this one I had to copy and paste, and I am not really happy with the process or the result, so I apologise if it is not a clear picture.

For the left side I used a piece from my scrap box, and just had enough to die-cut to fit. The stamp is a very old one, which I have removed from the block, and did  not keep a record of the maker. If anyone knows, I would love to know too. The centre piece was stamped onto shrink plastic, shrunk, then layered with mounting tapeonto the stamped panel.
