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.
I am posting to CAS Stencil August challenge - use Sprays with your Stencil.
