Painted Poppy Textures - A 90th Birthday Card

A bright card with textures for someone with little sight

This card is for my mother-in-law's 90th birthday.  She has very little sight now and so I've tried to incorporate textures and bright colours.

I watercoloured the poppy using the same method as outlined here.

I resorted to my retired little numbers dies for the age statement.

Sadly, it won't be the celebratory occasion that we had hoped for but as she often says "this too shall pass".

Thank you for visiting.

Wonderful Moments 21st Birthday

Wonderful Moments birthday card

This card is for my son's gorgeous girlfriend.  She looks stunning with her pink and blue hair, pale skin and long limbs.  It's the look I would have loved to have as a youngster but, sadly, lacked the courage (and the physique)!

I'm afraid I resorted to using my retired set of little numbers but everything else is current.

Thank you for visiting.

Butterfly Wishes Wash

Butterfly Wishes, a simple heat embossing technique and the Parisian Flourish embossing folder 

Sadly, my memory being what it is, I can't remember the name of this technique!  Perhaps someone will remind me.

For the butterfly strip, I sponged a piece of Whisper White cardstock with Gorgeous Grape ink.  Then I gave it a good going over with my Embossing Buddy before clear heat embossing the butterflies.

Then I spritzed with water and used some paper towel to lift off some of the ink, leaving the butterflies darker.

Country Road Whisky - A masculine card

A masculine card using the Country Road stamp set to produce a masculine whisky-themed card

This is a birthday card for a young man who is "twenty something". Another special request from my son!   He's a whisky club friend who is very fond of Ardbeg whiskies.  I printed the image of the bottle onto Whisper White cardstock and then cut it out.  It's adhered with mini Dimensionals.

I thought the Country Road stamp looks like the barley that is grown for whisky (I stamped several times to get some depth - like a field of barley) and the font in the sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set seems to go well with the Ardbeg font.

I "extended" both of the label die cuts to make room for the bottle.

Thank you for visiting.
