Blooming Flowers

Hello,

I made this card to fit in with the ILWS challenge this month, it is a colour challenge to use So Saffron, Basic Grey, Certainly Celery and Whisper White. I had to have a play with this set as I only got it last week and I love it already, great for water colouring!

So I stamped the flower with black Staz On onto Confetti card stock (which is a bit thicker for water colouring) and the "Bloom" word in Basic Grey ink onto Vellum Card stock which I tore and attached with silver brads,

Background is stamped with 'En Francaise' onto So Saffron card with the same colour ink and look at the cute bumble bee, aww

and here is the arty angle

Well, I hope you like today's card

and thanks for stopping by today,

Dad's Birthday

Hello there,

A few days ago it was Neils Dad's birthday and so here is the card I made for him, now it is very different from the usual sort of card I make so please be honest and tell me truthfully what you think??? I mean I liked it but it I think it is just so different.. I used a base of Soft Suede and teamed it with Brocade Blue,

Birthday was stamped with the Just Perfect Alpha and punched with the Jewelery Punch I threaded it with Linen Thread which was then wrapped around Silver Brads, base stamped with the lovely Medallion stamp,

across the bottom I stamped some Twill Tape with the little flourish from Tiny Tags in matching inks, I then sponged the tape with Soft Suede to "dirty" it up a bit, finishing it with staples,

I decorated it inside too :-)

and the arty angle where you can see I have left the tags loose so you get some movement with them,

Thanks for stopping by today, Hoping your school holidays are going well ;-)
