Happy Easter

My promise to be more organised has paid off this Easter, as I had my Easter cards made weeks ago. Which was lucky as its been a manic couple of weeks and there's been no time for crafting. First two cards are for my grandchildren.

First one for my granddaughter using a Lili of the Valley stamp. The card has been cut using a Crafters Companion tag die set. I found some old A4 cardstock in some spring colours and gingham pattern which I thought would work well. I use my Promarkers to co-ordinate and the sentiment is from Clearly Besotted. The bow is a die from Sue Wilson called Itty Bitty. You cant see in photo but I added some of my Spectrum Noir glitter pens to the egg and her wings. I punched a few little flowers from a EK Success Retro Flower punch to embellish and added a few pearls.

 

 

The second card is for my Grandson, this stamp is so old but I love it. Its Penny Black and its been used for cards for all my family over the years. Oliver's the only one who hasn't had a card using it , so I stamped and cut up each image instead of having them in a line like they are on the stamp. Each one has been coloured with Promarkers and then cut into rectangles. The sentiment is from Penny Black as well. I used some very old Papertrey Ink cardstock and inks to complete the card.

 

 

Back tomorrow with some more Easter cards, have a wonderful weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anniversary card

Todays card I made for my sons and daughter in laws anniversary last year. I used a seriously old but still loved Penny Black wooden stamp for the flourish. I then punched some hearts of different sizes to hang down in red card. I drew the lines with a fine black liner pen and added some gems. The frame is from Sue Wilson, its a big set but I have used it so often. I think I borrowed the sentiment stamp as I don't recognise it as one of mine.

Back tomorrow with a Valentines card I made for a class

Have a mice day

I decided to dig out one of my old and unused Penny Black stamps for a recent birthday card. I haven't coloured for months and had forgotten how relaxing it is.
