Wedding.......

Hope you all had a lovely Valentines Day, I was at work but when I got back hubby had baked heart shaped biscuits as well as getting me a lovely orchid. This week is half term week and that means double trouble in the form of my two Grandsons, today we went to a play centre where they played and generally wore themselves as well as me out.

Todays card is one I made as a commission, which I always feel nervous about doing as I'm always worried that they might not like it. the heart is a stamp from Creative expressions, which I embossed  and then cut the heart out again to layer it up.

Love is in the air.......

Afternoon fellow crafty bloggers, are you ready for Valentines Day next Sunday, we are starting to get busy at work, although it only seems like five minutes ago since it was Christmas, I have made another card which could be for Valentines or an Anniversary using my favourite stamp collection from Chocolate Baroque called Harlequin Rose. I embossed the image with cosmic gold embossing powder and then water coloured in the image with Twinkling H2Os adding lots of water to allow the colours to really blend well, I love this technique as the colours soften but still shimmer, but you do need a good quality watercolor paper to do it. I stamped the background paper with a pearlescent gold from Wow, and the sentiment was embossed in gold and coloured in using the same paints.

Listen to the Trees.....

Morning fellow crafty bloggers, hope you are all well and having a great week. I had a fabbie weekend, I had brought tickets for my hubby and son for Christmas to go to the Classic Rock show at Birmingham town hall, so on Saturday we were rockin' in the aisles, such a brilliant band of musicians and will definitely be going again next year.
My card for today features the new stamp set of trees just released from Crafty Individuals CI 450 Listen to the trees.
I stamped the larger trees on acetate for the box and then embossed the smaller ones for around the sides. I used the Spring time paper pad, and finished off with stamping out some flowers using CI 445, it was rather hard to photograph this with the trees on acetate so apologies.
