Anniversary Card

 A late posting today and have an anniversary card to show that I made for my eldest Son and DIL for next month but am safe as they don't read my blog---very rude of them!!!

The very back  paper I made with a few stamps and distress ink-then the next P. piece was made scoring the cardstock every inch and then draging a brown and green distress ink pad down the card to produce the wood effect.The small scrap piece was from stash and the stamp is from Chocolate Baroque stamped twice and 3-D the flower and paper pieced the tag part after stamping onto a book page,the stamped sentiment is also Chocolate Baroque-the image was watercoloured with my Art by Marlene watercolours.

I HAVE GIVEN THIS AWAY BEFORE-BUT FEEL FREE TO CLICK AND SAVE

Tealight Candle Card

 I have a Tealight Candle Card to show today,pretty much CAS.

A scrap of P.paper from my oddments box-okay if we are being pernickety from one of my oddment drawers lol.Matted onto another piece of white card and all three edges were punched with a Martha Stewart border punch found at the back of my drawer.

The butterfly and sentiment both from a Chocolate Baroque stamp set-stamped onto a scrap piece of card that was smooshed with distress ink.

Sarcastic Parrot

 Morning and I have a bottle tag to share today-The stamped image is Parrot from Katzelkraft watercoloured with my paints from Art by Marlene .The  stamped sentiment which seemed to give a sarcastic match to the Parrots expression was a craft mag freebie and the backgrounds were from a previous stencilling project and I just sprayed the used stencil with water and placed face down on card so you got the negative stencil, the scalloped die was from Creative Dies.

Retirement

Morning and I have a retirement card to show today -I did have an image but after being kept awake last night till late then woken up early with noisy neighbours I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to colour-then saved because I had a Spring fold card to make for a private challenge tutorial HERE. and whilst looking for papers I found a clock image-clocks-retirement-right? so saved by the clock lol

The topper was cut from a Hunkydory paper,P,paper and gems were from stash and the sentiment was computer generated in Dafont.
