Please Know

Goodness gracious,
Someone turned down the temp today...  Winter is def around the corner and I think we hit single digits this morning...  Here's one I've done the for challenge at http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com.au/

I've used some different techniques on this card.  I coloured a SU stamp image using Tim Holtz Distress markers, used a Versa Mark pen to colour the image so I could use Clear embossing powder to give the image a little shine.  The cardstock is from SU, the saying was using Memento Ink, glitter for the tops of the flowers.   Gave the sides a little stitched look.  I used Kaiser Craft - Lilac Avenue Collection.

Good Morn
I think the cold weather has finally caught up with us here in sunny Brissy.  Makes it hard to exercise when all you want to do is stay in ur fluffy pjs and stay in bed.  But here I am all dressed and ready to head out the door for some Crossfit to get the blood moving...

Used copics to colour the SU  poppies stamp, SU water colour crayons for the back ground, Sizzix embossed greetings with SU markers to go over the wording, and swirls.  Tim Holtz tag and SU cardstock for the rest.  Some twine at the bottom for some dimension. The stamped image is from SU using black Memento Ink.

For Mum

Hi everyone,
Would you believe Mother's Day is this Sunday coming up.  Does everyone have something planned for the day, or rather the family's going to do breakkie/brunch???  Well here's a card I've done for a mate..  His mum is gonna be down the coast for the day.  He wanted a beach/seaside theme for his card this year.
Ain't you tube wonderful, what did we do before all that info and tech was at our finger tips.
I made a 3-fold step card, using intials, lots of different textures.
I've added a little saying which goes like this

Your thoughtfulness of others
And your patience, day by day
Your warmth and understanding
And your helpful, loving way...
Those are the things we cherish
And are especially thinking of
As we sign this card that simply 
says - To Mum with all our love

This going into the challenge at
