40th Birthday

Decoupage is not a technique I use often in my card making but I think this decoupage by Mary Rayher screamed to be used on a 40th birthday card for a friend. I have also decided to enter it for The Papertake Weekly Challenge. The challenge was to use die-cuts and the heart "balloon"is made using a Sissix die.

I have spent most of today preparing for tomorrows scrapbooking class and recovering from the £134 bill for an oil change on the car !!!!!

Card for Father

I made this card for the Papertake Weekly Challenge. The challenge was to make a mans card so I made a card which would be suitable for either Fathers day or a birthday. I stamped the fisherman with Stazon on watercolour paper and coloured him with watercolour pencils. I used a clear Sakura glaze pen on the fish and his waders. Then I mounted the image on some checked scrapbooking paper before sticking on a blue pearlescent card. Finally I used two buttons to embellish it. Sorry the stamp I used came on a sheet and I have loaned the rest to a friend. When she returns them I will let you know the maker.

My bank account and I are still recovering from yesterdays craft outing. Not had time yet to play with my purchases. Maybe later, but have to finish weekly accounts first.
