Fishing

Hi, hope you are all keeping warm and dry today. What a mixed bag of weather, I woke up to pouring rain and now, as I'm writing this, the sun is shining brilliantly although it's quite windy.
I've been busy in my craft room but I'm afraid they are all cards that I can't share with you yet. Both my daughters' have birthdays coming up soon and I have been making cards for them from various family members and of course they look at my blog so I will show them when it is safe to :)
Here is a card I can show though....

Card Recipe:

6 x 6 textured cream card blank

Background paper - 'Go Fish Stripes-Carolyn Holt

Image - Art Impressions stamp ( pre-coloured images given to me in a swap)

Sentiment - Computer generated

Spellbinders Classic Circle Die

 

I got the idea for this card from none other than, wait for it......Pinterest. Where would we be without it? lol. The original card can be found here. Hope you like my version too.

Art Impressions

Hi, today I have a card to share with you using an Art Impressions stamp which I haven't used until now, it was just perfect for this card and the recipient will appreciate the humour in it. It's a long story but suffice to say this particular lady and the swimming pool have a history :)

 

I used my Promarkers again and some lovely papers from My Minds Eye Blush paper pad. The bubbles are a Memory Box die and the sentiments are created on my computer. I had some issues with the vivid pink Promarker seeping over the outline so I decided to cut the image out and glue it to the mount instead, it worked out ok I think.

I'd like to enter this in to the challenge at:

Scribble & Scrap - #6 Anything Goes

 

Well it's getting late now, hope you've all had a great day,

See you soon,
