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.

"Ladybirds In Love" Engagement Card


I have been playing today, with a stamp I bought over a year ago and have never used. I bought it with some other stamps from the USA but I can't remember the name of the maker. Sorry!

Anyway I thought it would make a quirky engagement or wedding card. I stamped it with Staz-on and glossy card and coloured it with Sakura pens. I mounted it on a red pearlescent Z fold card and stamped the greeting with a Woodware stamp and Brilliance ink pad. Ideally I should have used Staz-on for the word but I am never happy using Staz-on with clear stamps. I think this is why the " Congratulations" is a little blurred. Oh well.......
