Masculine Birthday card.....

 I thought this Greetery die would make great man cards....

a couple of crafters companion balloons and concord and 9th sentiment...

I hope the high wind haven't caused you too much damage...we moved all out big pots to shelter but sadly one still got blown over...

take care and stay safe....

getting back to christmas

 I thought I had better try to get back into making my Christmas cards and as the weather has been so awful these last 2 days I have no excuse

I used brusho's for the background and Lavinia stamps for the images after watching Amanda Branston doing a show on the craft channel....

I hope you are safe and well and thank you for popping by today.....

Valentine....

 a card for my Richard....

as soon as I saw this woodware stamp I thought it would be perfect for Valentines day....designed by Francoise Read its called Love Gnome....coloured with copics and promarkers...

thanks for popping by today...stay safe and well.

Pretty pink Birthday....

 playing with a bit of foiling....just learning...

I have taken and recycled a birthday card but added gold foiling.....adding matts and layers and a few sequins....

I hope you are keeping safe and well, I am back to watching the tennis at Rotterdam this week...

Inky background

after spraying with the previous card in blue I sprayed on more water and created a nice background...waste not want not as my dear old Mum would say..... 

I used the crafters companion die and stamp set...Snow....

 I hope you are safe and well, we still have high winds here so my plans for a trip into York are on hold not urgent just a trip to Bettys for a few indulgencies....ie cake...

Thanks for popping by today. 

feeling Blue....well the colour....

 I bought a Francoise Reed collection of stamps last year and I am slowly working my way through each one of them....

a sprayed background with prize ribbon oxide...stamped and embossed the image which is called Hanging Hearts, pulled the colour out with water in the hearts and the bird...some white splatter and a few white Nuvo drops.....

its been so windy here the last two days we have been saving crashed over pots and trying to keep the garden clear of all the rubbish being blown in ...still watching the tennis the last day for a couple of weeks so making the most of it.....

I hope you are all safe and well, thanks for popping by today.
