Mum and Dads Anniversary

This was quite a quick card, once I had had the idea...

 

 

I was looking through my paper stash for a paper for this card

 and came across this dovecraft paper.

It is part of a wedding set.

I used my cherry lynn flourish in cream, a couple of docrafts paper blossoms

in charcoal., and some Martha Stewart punched butterflies

ontop of the sentiment - which was stamped with a docrafts stamp.

I love that rubber stamp, and I hadn't used it for ages!

A couple of silvery pearls finished the card off!

A baby!!

My friend had her baby - on the same day our other friend got married!

 

 

So, it was a double celebration!

 

I made this card for the baby - and that's Wellington the teddy in the corner.

I used my new sizzix alphabet die...wingo zingo, for his name.
I have had the gingham paper for yonks..along with about 9 other colours, which I
don't want to use up..I love gingham! (but I think gingham works sooo well for baby cards)

A big one! (but don't tell everyone!)

My friend recently had a big birthday...

 

but she didn't want the world to know and remind her...

so this card I made for her, had her big number on...but little! lol! I LOVE that stamp - it was a freebie on a card-making mag earlier this year.

This is the first time I have used it...

and I paper-pieced each slat on each house.

I used some lovely pastel docrafts papers.

(and I had to add some butterflies to this card.)

I spent a long time on this card and loved every minute.

She's worth it ;)

Wow! Didn't realise it had been so long since I last blogged!

 

 It's been a busy time, and the summer hols are almost over! Boo hoo!!!  ;(

So, I thought I would get myself into gear and show a few more of my cards.

The first one is for a friend, to give to her friend, for her birthday.

I have had the image for ages... sorry, can't remember where it's from.

I matted it onto my minds eye paper,

added some MS punched butterflies and

a couple of co-ordinating paper flowers at the bottom.

This card is A4 - for a friends Mum, or Mam, as she wanted.

The brief was... "She likes bags and flowers. "

So, she got a bag and a flower...in my fave colours!

Glossy accents plays well on this card...on the sunflower middle and

the little heart tag, and the handbag handle.

MS punched butterflies again - that's a firm favourite!
