Paul's Birthday Card


Here's the birthday card I made for my brother. Background yellow cardstock - I've stamped with Versamagic ink the present stamp and then chalked over with orange chalk. Bird and saying stamps stamped on white cardstock with black archival ink. Coloured with watercolour pencils and blended in with the Dove blender pen. All Stamps from Hero Arts - Clear Design Bird sets.

September Wedding

We are going to a wedding in a couple of weeks time. Have stamped on white gloss cardstock the love and cherish stamps from Hero Arts in white Versa Color ink and then embossed in fine white embossing powder. Swiped some Versa Magic chalk pads over the cardstock (Pink Petunia, Wheat, and Perfect Plumeria colours) - buffed with a tissue. Swiped around the card with a gold pad and embossed with gold powder. Ended up restamping the love an cherish words over the original stamped image - just to make it stand out a bit more. Have punched small retro flowers (EK Success) out of gold wrapping paper; deep pink cardstock; and some petal design paper (recycled from the lining of an envelope).

Caitlin's Blanket

Here's the reason why I haven't been stamping as much over the last few months. Have been crocheting Caitlin a blanket - finished it in time for her birthday last week! I'm very happy with how my first crocheted piece has turned out.

Ben's Birthday Card


My friend's little boy has turned one! Here's the birthday card I made for him. Unfortunately the "one" word is a bit hard to see on the card in the scanned image. It has beenb stamped in a aqua blue colour as well as yellow. Giraffe is from Stamp-It; Happy Birthday from Penny Black, "one" from Hero Arts Clear Design number one set. Patterned papers used in background.
