FATHER'S DAY

Morning everyone. I am back again as promised on my blog/card making catch up. Today's card is for my dad for Father's Day and I am using my jolly gnome stamp from My Favourite Things as my dad is a keen gardener. We were also laughing about our lack of ability to take a decent selfie and so was inspired to make my own version on a card. It also made me tackle a new technique I've not done before using masking paper which I had been putting off. All in all it has not turned out too bad and I am quite pleased with it.

BRITISH SUMMER TIME???!

Morning everyone. Hope you are all well today. We seem to be well into the great British summer of sunshine and showers so I have decided to dedicate today to catching up with my blog and card making which has gone astray in recent weeks with life's up and downs.
I wanted to show you the recent creations I have made with a challenge win prize and a recent purchase (which always cheers me up)


So my first card is made from a combination of stamps. The first is a stamp from the lovely Bev at Uniko Stamps which I was lucky enough to win on a Passion for Promarkers challenge. These particular stamps are from a set called Fun Flowers. The second stamps used are from the lovely Stephanie at Clearly Besotted. These stamps are from a set called Happy Birthday which also comes with co-ordinating dies if you wish.  I must apologise for the quality of the photo - I blame the changing weather!





Card ~ Pretty Pastels Creations from The Range

Dies ~ MFT

Flower Stamps ~ Fun Flowers from Uniko Stamps

Ink – Versa Magic Chalk in Mango Madness and Pumpkin Spice

Sentiment ~ Clearly Besotted “Happy Birthday” with co-ordinating dies
