Nautical Napkin

 

I am sharing a male card today using the napkin technique which I was reminded about recently.

I applied it to a card slightly smaller than my base card and sponged the edges with Faded Jeans DI

I then added a knotted piece of string and the birthday peeloff

Hi everyone

I have just returned from Radiology where I had an ultrasound on my thyroid. They found a couple of 'lumps', so now will await another Doctor's appointment. It seems to have been a never-ending round of specialist appointments  in the last six months!

Back to my card.

 I adhered a piece of DP to my black card base and then added the 3 green strips which I coloured by swiping with my Memento 'bamboo leaves' ink pad. I then added a double layer flower from my embellishments box, and the peeloff which I had coloured black.

Today's card is made from a piece of DP (Colorbok) cut out with A Stamplorations die and layered onto the base which has had the edges sponged with 'Shades' dye ink in Orange

I stamped the flowers onto orange Bazill card and fussy cut them, and the 2 big leaves onto a green scrap of Bazill. The other green leaves are diecut. I then added the white and black dots and stamped the sentiment with Brilliance Graphite black

Hello everyone, I hope you are keeping well

My card today follows the sketch from Sketch Saturday

I have used a New Zealand made stamp of a pohutukawa blossom, which is better  known as our New Zealand Christmas tree, as it blooms at Christmas time and is a stunning sight, usually found in coastal areas. I highlighted the ends with red Kindyglitz, which doesn't show so well in the scan.I also trimmed some sparkly washi tape to edge the sentiment which was stamped with Brilliance, I think the colour is called red gold

Lets Squash It #7

 

Hello all and welcome

This is one of the cards that I have made for Mother's Day, which is May 9th in our country

I have specifically made it for the 'Lets Squash It challenge' where we have been asked for 3 embossing folders and a person.

I cut my background piece and inserted a dotty one in the gap so that it would fit in my card

I then embossed the floral strip, computer generated the message, and added this lovely little vintage girl.
