Sharing an 'Oldie' on Friday

Hi Crafters,

Friday already!? How did that happen?

This week is flying by and so I am here to join in with Erika's challenge at Snappy Crafts to dig out an old crafty project and share it here.

Recipe

Image - Impression Obsession Stamp - Potting Shed

Coloured with Pro/flexmarkers

Sentiment - Lili of the Valley Stamp

Spellbinders Grand Labels Four

Speciality Papers from my stash

Computer generated sentiment paper

Peel-off Corners

Velvet Ribbon

I love this stamp, it's very detailed but gives a great impression and works beautifully for a male Retirement card I think.

This card is a couple of years old and is one of the last images on my recovered camera disc, so unless I start posting more recent projects this is the last time I will be joining in with Erika. I had so many images of cards and crafty projects that were lost when  my computer died :(

Well I hope you have a great Friday, the weekend is nearly here and I'm still beavering away in my room trying to get ahead of myself. 

Take care,

Lorraine

Father's Day

Hi Crafters,
As promised here is my latest Father's Day card using the wonderful 'Map' stamp by Impression Obsession.

The techniques used are the same as my card in yesterdays post but the sentiment stamp is from Verve Stamps.

 

See you all again soon,

 

Lorraine

 

P.S. Just finished another version...

Masculine Birthday

Hi Crafters,
As you've heard me mention before I find male cards a bit difficult but since I discovered this great stamp from Impression Obsession - 'Map' I've had a light bulb moment and made quite a few cards. Some for birthdays and some for Father's Day, which won't be long - 15th June - the rate at which this year is flying by.
Here is the birthday one and I will share the Father's Day card tomorrow,

6 x 6 card blank

Map stamp - Impression Obsession

Ship stamp - Habico Vintage Transport

Paper twine - Tim Holtz

Wave die cut - La La Land

Label die cuts - MFT Die-namics - layered labels

Lighthouse charm from stash

Distress inks

Kraft cardstock

I inked the white cardstock with a mixture of Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks and then when dry I stamped the Map over the top and embossed it with black detail embossing powder. The wave die cut was inked with the same three colours to match and so were the labels layers. I then embossed the Ship stamp in exactly the same way as the map. Added two lengths of TH paper twine and a bronze charm from my stash which I mounted on to the circle mats.
