From far away, a friendly light

Fathers' Day this weekend, so a masculine card this afternoon.  I love this stamp - used grey ink to stamp the image and pencil to colour it, then trimmed down to fit a tall navy card and framed it in red.  I am playing along with Watercooler Wednesday WWC235 - Marsha's Masculine "Anything Goes" challenge.  Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it. -  happy stamping

 

Christmas Wishes Tag

Time for making a couple of tags, my second one for Christmas... playing along with Jingle Belles Rock challenge - Tag, You're It.  I used a smooched and stenciled background from my stash - the blues and purples has silvery dots all over.  Then I strip of matching washi tape to ground my die cut Christmas tree, decorated with purple and silver gems.  To finish I stamped and silver embossed my sentiment and tied on some silver cord.  Thanks for visiting I really appreciate it - happy tag making.

Live Laugh Love Tag

Initially I thought I didn't have a flamingo in my stamp stash, but was happy to find this one in a tropical set in a magazine freebie - it also included my coconut cocktail - stamped these, coloured with pencils and fussy cut. I die cut the top of the base tag with part of a label die and founds some bright PP for the background.  Finished off with a stamped sentiment and twine.  I am playing along with TAG, You're It challenge #94 - Summer Splash.  Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - happy tag making.

Wishing You a Very Happy Birthday

Earlier in the week I had fun with this solid butterfly stamp (here), I muffed the edge of this one so trimmed it down and framed it with brown card onto a bright matching yellow card base.  To finish I stamped on my sentiment in black.  I am playing along with Seize the Birthday with Toppings - Butterflies ....    and also to Virginia's - Show and Share event.

Cherish Friendship

I sprayed this stencil piece at the beginning of the month and it has been waiting on my desk for some inspiration to finish it.  I used Perfect Pearls Mist and it gave a lovely shimmery finish, so I decided to team it with a silver metallic card and framed with creamy pearl metallic paper.  Next I die cut my sentiment three times with the top layer from the same silver as the card base, then glued them together for dimension... I finished with an extra stamped sentiment and two die cut butterflies.

Let it Snow

A little snowy scene through a window for my CAS Christmas August challenge card... showcasing GLITTER.   I die cut the window in my card front panel and used two thin strips of card to create the window panes, then backed this with clear cellophane for the glass.  I cut some snowy hills from white glitter card and placed two die cut trees behind.  From green card I die cut some pine branches, added some white Crystal Drops and sprinkled on lots of glitter, same for the trees and arranged these behind the window, added some smudged blue pencil for the sky and attached to a white card.  To finish I stamped and silver embossed the sentiment and added a two layer snowflake die cut  from glittery silver card.  I am also playing along with Happy Little Stampers August Christmas challenge - Anything Goes.
