Grungy Birthday

Hello Everyone,

How are you this Friday?  It's been pretty warm here.

Today I decided to make a card with a total break away from the butterflies I've been using lately, just for a change.  This card uses the Gorgeous Grunge and Chalk talk stamp sets with some circles cut with the Circle Framelits and 1 inch circle punch plus the Mini Star punch for more of an abstract design rather than my previously elegant butterfly cards.


The cardstock used is Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Pool Party Pistachio Pudding and Basic Black with some Champagne Shimmer for the starts.  The greeting comes from the Chalk Talk set.  Here is a closer look.

I had these rings already laying on my desk, leftover from other projects and wanted to make use of them.  Thanks for popping in to see today's card.  As I mentioned, it has been pretty hot here.  I wanted to share with you a site we see in our backyard quite often.  These kangaroos were quite close the afternoon and were taking it easy in the shade.




Have a great weekend.

      Thanks so much Vicki, actually I don't feel like the Master of grunge, it's way outside my comfort zone. Have been channeling my mate Justin to create this. LOL!

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
