Fishing father's day

I stamped the gold embossed poka dots with a background stamp from DRS Designs.

The sentiment is a free digi from Clare Curd. I embossed it with holographic powder to give it some sparkle without covering up the font.

The stickyback fishing themed embellishments are from my stash, I bought them years ago in Belgium. The seascape painting is a clipping from an old art magazine, it's a painting by Ferron that depicts the Bretagne.

Belated birthday folksy style

I did the same as for the last card but instead of just colouring in, I painted on top of the flowers to give them a different character. I embellished them with glitter and added the coloured frames. The sentiment was done on the computer.

Product I used sold at Joan's Gardens:
Memento Ink "Cottage Green" Reinker.

Belated birthday: stamped purple flowers

First I stamped the purple flowers (a rubber stamp of unknown origin) and coloured them in. Then I masked them and stamped the background of leaves with a stamp from DRS Designs. I went on to embellish with ribbons and stuck small gem stones to the centre of the flowers. The sentiment was done on the computer.

First christmas card

I just made my first christmas card for this year - and it isn't even August yet! Well, I wanted to make a design using a tree, so a Christmas was the way to go.

I created the background by stamping the snow flakes, then masking them to stamp the dots (a background stamp from DRS Designs). Then I added a topper for a splash of colour and some cheer.
