Wee One.....

Hi everyone.

Today is the start of a new challenge month over at Bizzy Becs and I would like to share my card created for this months challenge.

I have used a very cute stamp from Whimsy Stamps and the card had pefect timing as our family recently welcomed another new member.

The image was coloured with Copic Markers and Primsa Coloured pencils.

Supplies used:

Whimsy Stamps - Wee One

Taylored Expressions Stamp & Die - Simple Strips

Memory Box Die - Shaker Circle Frames

(This is an old die but may still be available)

Dress my Craft Sequins - Sea Breeze

Primsa Coloured Pencils

Copic Markers

I cut the Shaker Circle Die 5 times and layered them together placing acetate under the top layer.  I then  glued them into the circle I cut into the background to create my shaker, added the sequin mix and then attached to the base card.  With the addition of  sequin stars around the outside which were  highlighted in  the centre  with  Ranger Stickles in Turquoise. I am delighted how the card turned out.

Thanks for looking

Until next time - Happy Crafting

Bird Swing

Yes Rain!   I am not sure whether it is here to stay but.  The last few days have been a very pleasant change from the humid muggy weather we have been having and have even dragged the quilt out of the cupboard.

Today I would like to share with you a card that I made for a wonderful couple that have recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary made of course with her favourite colours.We also had the pleasure of joining them with their celebrations. It was a wonderful night filled with great music courtesy of  brother in laws band. lovely food and great company.  Luckily the weather was kind and they had an outside seating arrangement and everyone partied on till the wee hours.

For my card I chose to make an easel card and followed along with the current Tic Tac Toe challenge at Bizzy Becs .  I have done  - shaped card, flowers and lace/ribbon.

The image I chose is from Whimsy Wee a  gorgeous digi stamp  called "Bird Swing" which I have coloured with copics.  The easel  card was constructed using my Spellbinder die Labels 8 together with Petite Ovals, these can be preordered in store - here.  Bec has a fabulous range of new Whimsy Stamps that are available for preorder so pop over and check them out -  here.  Paper, ribbon, lace and flowers are from my own stash.  The sentiment was a freebie that I found on the internet at Nettys Cards here.  The number sixty was from some chipboard alphas that I have in my stash and spritzed them with dylusions spray crushed grape.

I have made some other cards in the last few days so will be back in a few days to share them too.

Thanks so much from dropping bye.
