Happy Father's Day

Today we celebrate Father's Day in the U.K.

Here is the card that I made for my daddy:

I started by stamping the background ruler from a Tim Holtz set onto a card blank using walnut stain distress ink.

I made a panel to go to the left by brayering over glossy card.  This was then attached.

I stamped the Time Traveller twice and coloured him in using distress markers.

These were cut out.  One was attached to the card.  The other I lined up using a file strip die cut.  I then cut it out to show the face and watch.

'Dad' was stamped onto a label and inked using walnut stain.  Two tickets were also stamped and cut.

I embellished using keys, a corner  and a pointing finger.

To finish, I added glossy accents to the watch and film strip picture.

Alot of love went into this card to say thank you for my dad being there for me over all of these years.

Thanks for looking....

Happy Birthday Mum

Today is my Mum's Birthday.

Here is the card that I made for her:

I started by covering a card blank using some gorgeous vintage floral Prima paper and inked around the edges using walnut stain ink.

I die cut 3 Window Frame shapes, one in Prima paper and one in cream card stock.  I stamped the vintage lady image (Studio 490) onto the cream card stock and coloured her using distress markers and inked around the edge.  As soon as I saw these Wendy Vecchi stamps I knew that I had to get them and that the image reminded me of my wonderful mum.

I attached the image and shape to the card and put sprays of roses around them which were given to me by the fabulous Caz Newton.  Thank you Caz - they are amazing!!

I finished by using a few pearls on the opposite edges.

Hope you have a fabulous day mum - Happy Birthday - Love you loads xxxx
