Anniversary time...

I'm still here! 

I know I haven't been around much lately...

we are in the middle of a hectic, but exciting time.

Don't want to jinx anything, but will let you know when 

we are a few steps further ahead with our plans...

I have been able to get back to a little crafty time -

and oh, how I have enjoyed myself! 

I made this card for my Mum and Dads

anniversary, coming up next week.

I *think* they have been married 45 years... 

so wrote about that on the inside, but wasn't quite

sure enough - so didn't put it on the front. 

At the moment, I am working with limited supplies,

but created this clean and simple card.

Infact, I love the paper pack this came from 

(The Works, 99p per pack - 6 x 6 papers)

and have created 3 anniversary cards from that pack, which I 

will be sharing with you over the next week or two. 

So, this card was made with one paper, one stamp,

and 2 diecuts. 

 A little glossy accents picks out each of the hears on 

the paper background, but it's hard to see on the picture.

I would like to enter some challenges with this card...

Seagulls...summer?

At Patties Creations this month,

 we would like you to...

 "make a splash! - include water in your image "

I used Patties gorgeous image,

Seagulls Roost

and thought this would be perfect for a fathers day card

for my father-in-law, as he loves holidaying at the seaside.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and

layered lots of colours, to give depth and a realistic feel.

The seagull in the middle, I decoupaged.

I did a little inking on the sky, to age the image a little

and mounted it all onto a woodgrain effect embossed piece.

I would like to enter this  into the following challenges:
