fathers day ties

Hi all

Do you like my little slideshow?

Spent all day making fathers day cards.  I had no mojo at all and really strugfled this is the first and worst - I got my mojo back after doing this one will post some more over the next few days.

It started out with a little tag I had of popcorn the bear putting on a tie so in y way I decided to make a background out of ties but then when I went to add him it didn't look right - not my sort of thing at all so I stuck some socks on too and a sentiment. It's not but I'll put it on the stall not every one has the same sort of taste as me.

Thanks

A simple little card but I like it.  background coloured in pink and yellow and then I just stamped the flower heads and stems then I used a water brush to colour.

This is a little house I made some time ago and I am using this picture to try to work out how to get pics into my blog from Flickr - OMG am I getting into this century or what.

Have now got a facebook page checkout Linda's hand made cards. have now also got a twitter account and somehow have managed to link this blog to flickr so I can post stuff without having to keep taking card out of phone and messing - ooooh I think I am soooooo  clever !!!!!

Special Day

Got a new stamp from Roy Higginbottom at Dimension stamps.  You stamp out the shape then stamp a pattern on each petal cut it out and do this several times you then cut a section or several sections and then glue together and shape.  I've used vellum for this one and I made three different sizes.
The background is one of those new embossibility folders.  The circles are from spellbinders splendid circles and the middle one has had the edge trimmed off and embossed with some embossing powder with mica in.

Golden Wedding

Well hello everyone.

Sorry been quiet but I've had shingles and whilst I've done a little bit of crafting I haven't felt like loading stuff on either my blog or my facebook page. If your on facebook follow the link to my page and "like" me - cheers

Well I have updated both now and hopefully will find time to get back to blogging.

This is a card I have made for a commission that came from a lady at a craft fair I am hoping she likes it!!!

I've done some piercing around the edges made a lattice pattern on the background with my hougie board
I mad some flowers with gold ribbon.  I managed to get the 50 by printing it on coated card (in this case pearl) and used best quality on the printer settings - as it came out of the printer - I stood over it and poured the embossing powder on it as it was coming out - the ink was still wet enough to get the powder to stick - so well impressed with that trick. - hope you like it.
