Holiday


 Hi all

Been on holiday -hence no posts!
we had a lovely time and the weather was not too bad (makes a change for us!)  sad thing is  my beloved Bessie (car) died on the way home and had to come home in the RAC van - he thinks the engine's done - I do tend to do a lot of mileage (1400 this week!) Anyho so not been out today and so decided to have a play with my serif software that I got when it was free and make a scrapbook of my holiday pics. - not cards I know but still!!!

the allotment

well it had to be done  - I came across a poem about a retired guy, his allotment and escaping from the wife - ergo I had to make a card to fit the verse! ha ha

the guy is a digital image but the background has been coloured using my brushes and inkpads and then I created a little scene with stamps

Bunch of flowers

Hi All

Sorry not been around much lately I just don't now where the time is going!

I've had fun and games with the car and just general stuff going on.

Thought I'd post this little card that I made sometime last week .  Got no mojo at the moment - think I need a holiday !!

I have distressed all three sections with pink at the top and blue at the bottom with my brushes.  A couple of clarity stamps coloured with promarkers and I have added a script to the background

Ruby Wedding

Similar to the last two posts but I embossed vellum for the background and then used some fancy corners to cover up the glue!
I distressed the actual white card just to make it blend in.

Golden wedding

Same as yesterday but creamy coloured pearl card and gold mirri and gems

Silver wedding

The next three posts are all on the same lines but just goes to show that different colours but same materials make different cards.

Background embossed with a special touch of mica mask. Used some nice grey pearlised paper, white pearly card and silver mirri board.

A rose for my rose

An extra post today

I made this one yesterday afternoon it is a woodware stamp and I have coloured with promarkers.  The backgrounds have been done with brushes and inks and I've added a couple of memory box borders
