Happy New Home

Morning folks and happy Wednesday....we are slowly inching further towards Friday woohoo :-)   You know when you wake up on a morning and you feel like you have never been to sleep....that is how I feel today, I could just shut my eyes and lay my head down on my desk....it's going to be a loooong day !  If this post ends abruptly I may well have dropped off lol.

Anyway I would like to share with you a customer card I made for a couple moving into their first home.

I thought it would be nice to create a little scene using different die cut elements and some embossing for a bit of texture.

The papers are from the Blank Canvas paper pad by First Edition and all of my layers have been matted onto Kraft cardstock to give a soft look.

I embossed some blue cardstock with a cloud embossing folder to create the sky and the hill is just a die cut circle chopped in half.  The sun, fence and tree I hand cut myself and the clouds are made using the Puffy Clouds die from Memory Box.

The digistamp house is available here and I have mounted it onto foam pads to make it stand out a bit more.

I am really happy with how it turned out because 'scene' cards have never been my forte but as you can see I still managed plenty of layers !

Didn't I do well managing to stay awake!  Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Check back later today for a brand new card made using one of the beautiful new release images from All Dressed Up.

Catherine Nibbling Chocolate - Stamping Bella

Gooood morning, who stole the weekend?!

I'm back to the day job today but before I crack on I am just popping in with a card made using some of my favourite stamps....Stamping Bella Uptown Girls.  I have seen some sneak peeks of the new release and I can tell I the bank manager isn't going to be happy with me this month!

This lovely is Catherine Nibbling Chocolate - and doesn't she look so elegant doing it.  I have coloured her up with copics and fussy cut around her before mounting her onto my card.

All of the papers are from Pink Petticoat and I have matted everything onto pink cardstock.  Unfortunately I don't know the name of the embossing folder as I picked it up in a sale a couple of years ago and I don't have the packaging.

I have embellished with some die cut flowers and buttons and there you have it!

Better go and actually do some work, I need the money to feed my craft habit ;-)

Have a happy Monday folks
