Happy Birthday Jules

Hi All

It's one of my best friend's birthday today (Happy Birthday Julie - and now that I know she has received and opened her card I can show it to you all.  I hope you like it.

The image is from the Loving Wishes stamp set from Stamps by Me Ltd, and the sentiment is from the Hooray stamp set also from Stamps by Me Ltd.

I stamped the image using Tuxedo Black Momento ink and coloured the using Copics in the following colours: E04, RV42, R20, G85, G82, YG11, W7, W3, W1, 0 Colourless Blender.

The centre of the flowers has a hint of dusky pink glitter added using a Quickie glue pen.

I stamped the senitment in Generation Inx Back to Black from Stamps by Me Ltd.  

The image was matted onto some dusky pink card and mounted on foam tape onto patterened paper which was matted on the same plain card stock on an A5 card. 

It is a very simple card but I think it looks very elegant.

Thanks for popping in.

Lots of Love

Cheers

Alistair's Birthday Card

Hi All

It was my son Alistair's 15th Birthday on Halloween and this is the card I made for him.  It suited him to a tee as this really is how he spends most of his spare time lol.  

The image is a Penny Black Cling Stamp - Your Way.  I stamped and coloured the image using Copics, distressed the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink and matted on black card. I stamped the sentiment on white card and also distressed this with Black Soot Distress Ink. Having a member of the family with a Halloween birthday means I always have a stash of spooky papers, I used one for the background and again used the Black Soot Distress Ink on the edges.  The October 31st sentiment came from the same background paper.

Hope you like it, Alistair loved it.

Thanks for popping in.

Lots of Luv

Xmas Cards for a friend

Hi All

You may remember I mentioned in a post a couple of days ago that a friend had asked me to make her quite a few Christmas cards,  Well here they are I made 22 in total for her, she wanted 10 with snow scenes and 10 traditional and one each for her 2 grandchildren.

These are the two cards for her grandchildren the first is a Polkadoodles image stamped and coloured with Copics and accented with a little glitter, this was matted on navy pearlescent card and layered on coordinating Christmas Paper. The second is a stamp from Lily Of the Valley which was also coloured with Copis and mat and layered in the same way but in plum tones, the sentiments for both cards were printed from my computer. 

There were 10 snow scene cards altogether, all had the same image stamped in Blue Generation Inx by Stamps by Me Ltd and then glitter added with a quickie glue pen, the mat and layered on two different coordinating Christmas Papers matted onto navy pearlescent card.

Again there were 10 tradition style cards too, this time the image was stamped in Plum Archival Ink and matted and layered on plum cardstock and coordinating Christmas papers.

Hope you like them all.

Thanks for popping in.

Lots of Love
