BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR WMSC114


This card today is using the sketch over at waltzingmouse sketch challenge.blogspot and a colour combo that I have used in the past pinks and teal.
 
 
I made use of a new set of stamps that I purchased recently which is  the "Teeny Trees" set from Waltzingmouse and with so many stamps in one set this is very good value.I also used some new Spellbinder die sets Foliage Two - Jewel Flowers and Flourishes - Grand Decorative Circles One - Back to Basics Tags.
 
 
Thanks again for stopping by and if you like what you see a comment would be most welcome.

FRIENDS ALWAYS

 
Today's post is a bit later today as the weather being so good at the moment I had to try and get on with a few jobs in the garden.
 
 
For my card I have used the sketch over at waltzingmouse sketch challenge.blogspot.co.uk and kept to three main colours blue, black and cream.

 
The flower was created using Spellbinder dies "Aster Flower Topper" and "Bitty Blossoms" cut out in felt for the centre.Other dies used were "Creative Page Tags", "Back to Basic Tags" and "Labels Four". The sentiment was WMS "Teeny Trees"and other embellishments are fine wire mesh, metallic ink marker, twine and gems.

 
Thanks for dropping by and your comments are always welcome.

MEMORY LIVES FOREVER


Hello again and thanks for dropping by. There is a lovely sketch challenge over at just-add-ink.blogspot. and used this for today's card.
 
 
The bottom of the card was created using Spellbinders Edgeabilities along with some bakers twine and ribbon.The flower is cut from some fun foam (I do love fun foam)and finished off with a little glitter.

 
The sentiment is from Fiskars "Good Times Quotes" and then cut using Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles.

I have now got to go and give my craft room a good clearout as I have been putting it off for far too long so hope to see you all again very soon.
