Today I thought I'd do a couple of easy Men's cards for a change.

The Background is Crafts Concepts - Sunrays

 Crafty Ann - Motorcycle  (this I cut with three different colours and pasted them over each other using the main colour as the base.

The Happy Birthday was out of the Sizzix Framelits Die - Stand-Ups Card

Don't forget to enter a card in Bizzy Bec's Challenge this month.

Happy Crafting.

Hello Spring

Hello fellow crafters. 

Here is my card for this month.

Items used are:

The Flowers, leaves, dots and sentiment are all from 

the stamp and die set:  Avery Elle - Petals and Stems

The Hello is from Elizabeth Crafts (sponged with inks)

The Hello was painted over with Mod Podge gloss lustre.

I decided to decorate the flowers and card corner with rhinestones.

Have you ever thought of trying the Lawn Fawn Stamp shammy?

I bought one and it is fantastic.

Have a great week, Blessings Carol

Special Embossers

The following three Embossed card stock was sent to me when a team of wonderful ladies (I didn't know) sent me heaps of die cut outs and other useful items when I was having a serious health issue.

It was such a lovely thought and it was a lot of fun receiving mail from a total of 26 ladies every 

day or so for weeks.

So I just added the pearls and the Sentiment - With Love 

This one I decided to add the Sentiment - Hello

I added ribbon, Sentiment is from PoppyCrafts - Happy Birthday present and balloon.

The sentiment is a great size.

Rose is Marianne Design - Creatables Dies -Flower Set

Leaves = Cheery Lynn Design - Flourish Leaf Strip

Cheery Lynn Dies - Concentric Circles Mesh

They'll never know what joy that brought to me, knowing there were so many lovely, kind and thoughtful people around.

Thank you to all those generous ladies,

Love Carol x

Hello Fellow Crafters

Today I thought I'd make a man's card and create a scene.

How I made the card:

The blue background was achieved by sponging with a cloud stencil.

Grassy area I used green cardstock sponged a little and for the hills:

Memory Box - Golf club Landscape (I cut the flag off and added a couple more trees).

Die Namics - Rolling Hills

Memory Box - Puffy Clouds (sponged)

Frantic Stamper - Bi Plane

Memory Box - Flying Birds (BB used to have them)

One bird is from Impression Obsession - Sea Birds

Happy Birthday from PoppyCraft dies - Happy Birthday Balloon

I drew and coloured and cut the rocks out and pasted them.

Enjoy your week and happy crafting.

Hugs Carol
