Happy Birthday

Good morning all!

How's your eekend going? Good I hope!

Yesterday was my MIL's Birthday & we're off out for lunch 

to celebrate today. Just thought I'd share the card I made for her!

It's very simple! The base card is A6 smooth white card.

The paper is from the First Edition Bird Song pad.

I inked the edges with a liquid chalk inkpad.

I added a strip of white paper with a punched border, then a

piece of faux silk ribbon & finally a sheer ribbon with a triple bow.

The sentiment is digi 20601 Most Special Day from Eureka Stamps.

It was cut with an oval die & matted onto an ornate oval die cut, with foam pads.

I hope you like my little card!

Let's Hear It For The Boys!

Good Morning Bloggers!

Today see's the start of this weeks brand new challenge at 

The Crafty Pad

This weeks theme chosen by little old me is

#174 Let's Hear It For The Boys

With Father's Day fast approaching here in the UK, we'd like to see
your creations to celebrate either

Father's Day Or A Special Man In Your Life!

Easy Peasy huh??? We'll see you over there!!!

My card is a Father's Day Card.

The Image & Papers are both from The Crafty Pad Designs

I Love My Daddy - Daughter UNcoloured Image & Sentimet

One For The Boys Digital Backing Papers.

The base card is A5, made by scoring & folding an A4 sheet of cardstock.

I played about with the layout, adding lots of layers. 

The image was coloured with  a combination of

Promarkers & Flexmarkers. I only recently began using 

Flexmarkers & I'm liking them a lot!

Think I have to get me some more! lol

The sentiment, is one of the two that come with the image.

(The other is a Happy Birthday sentiment.)

I cut it out with an inverted scallop nestie then matted onto a 

scalloped circle of cardstock.

I popped it on some foam pads for dimension then

added a ribbon bow & a little saw charm.

to finish off embellishing my card I added some silver Card Candi.
