Pansies

Every thing I have used on this card I have had for ages - I dont know the make of the decoupage or the papers so I'm afraid that is all I can tell you about this card, except that i enjoyed doing it and made a terrible mess around me while making it I did stamp the backing paper using a stamp by Lindsay Mason called Butterfly dreams with Tim Holtz milled lavendar distress ink.

 I have entered this card into the WOC sketch challenge.

Nellie Snellen Eastern Oval die

Masculine card

Good Morning all, The weather here in Spain today is a tad windy again but nice and bright and sunny but I decided to make a card instead of go out.  I havent blogged for a couple of days so here we go.

Princess Tilda

I have been away for a few days to Cabo De Gata a little birthday treat for my husband Eddie, we had a fabulous time and even went in the sea for a swim.  On our return my Magnolia Tilda stamp had arrived and I just had to have a play this morning and came up with this card.

For this card I used a Nellie Snellen die, I coloured the back die cut with Tim Holtz Distress ink (milled lavender) and stamped with Dimension crafts clear swirl stamp using the Distress ink milled lavender again.

From Me To You

I am sitting indoors today as it is far too windy to go out and decided to make my husbands birthday card for May, not easy as he keeps coming in and out of the room!I made the card from a painting by Kevin Walsh from the Nostalgia Collection CD set by Joanna Sheen it's a perfect subject for him as he was a motor mechanice/fitter by trade, he is now retired and here we are in sunny Spain.  I made the rosette with the cricut rosette and ribbon cartridge the backing paper is from stash (I think its by docraft). I used a Martha stewart punch to make the side borders using Black Magic ColorCore Cardstock.
