New Home

Good Evening, my card to share today is a New Home card that a friend asked me to make.  It is a  Less is More card as this is the type of card she likes.  The image has been made up by using Clarity Stamps - house and birds;  Stampscapes - Foreground and trees.  I used various ink pads and Copics to colour the image.  The sentiment was computer generated and the key embellishment came from my stash.

I am entering my card into Rainbow Lady's Challenge - In the Country

Thank you for visiting today

Sunrise - Sunset

Back again for a second post today, this one is a late entry into Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Sunrise - Sunset.  I particularly wanted to make a card for this challenge because I live as far north as you can get in the UK and at this time of the year we have some amazing white nights.  In fact when we have clear skies it doesn't get completely dark at night at all.  We moved here in June 1977 and the first night we didn't get around to putting the curtains up in the girls bedroom and they woke up at 2 am with the sun streaming in through the windows and thought it was time to get up, the eldest was 5, the middle one 3 and the baby was 10 days away from her first birthday.  It was always a struggle this time of the year to get them to bed and not get up in the middle of the night.  A couple of nights back I wasn't sleeping to well, and there was a bird serenading me - it was about 2ish in the morning!  The only downside of our long summer days is the very, very short winter days!

Onto my card, it was one I made for my SIL's 40th birthday and I forgot to take a pic of it before I sent it, so I asked my daughter if she would take one and e-mail it to me. I have just received it. The background is Big 'n Juicy Soothing Sunset and the images are Stampscapes, everything else comes from my stash.

Thanks for your visit

New Home Card

Good Afternoon fellow bloggers.  My daughter asked me to make a card for a friend who is moving home, and this is the result.  I used four stamps to create the scene, the house, tree and birds are all Clarity Stamps and the roadway is Stampscapes.  The house was coloured with Copics and the landscape with Distress Inks. The backing papers are from Funky Fairys, the central strip is Coredinations, dark green in colour, and the matting has been done using silver mirror board from my stash.  The sentiment is computer generated and I have embellished with a key ring with keys.

My card is a last minute entry into the Sketch challenge at Papertake Weekly.
Thank you for stopping by today.
