Goodbye old catalogue!

Good morning!

Did you have a good day yesterday? Keiran had a fab day! He went to his friend's birthday party and was so pooped he passed out for 2 hours when we got in, bless him! I did too lol! We finished off the day with a curry a 'beer' and 101 Dalmations!

I'm so glad I already had this card made ready to blog today...it saved me from having to make one last night!

This is another card I've made in an attempt to use up some retiring DSP! 

The DSP is from the Regals stack and is Night Of Navy. The Washi Tape is some of the BRAND NEW Gingham Garden tape...isn't it gorgeous! I love how it works so well on such a dark background too! :) The fab 'distressed' yellow background to the butterflies was created by colouring an acrylic block with a Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write marker, then stamped it onto the card....didn't know how it would turn out but I rather like it!

I distressed edge of the panel with my distressing tool. The butterflies are the ever popular Papillon Potpourri and I stamped the big one in Melon Mambo onto card, then the Night Of Navy and Daffodil Yellow ones onto vellum...I'm really loving stamping on vellum lately! I finished by paper piercing using the Paper Piercing Essentials Pack for some added interest.

More Poppies

Hello!

Here is another card using the gorgeous Pleasant Poppies stamp. For a stamp I wasn't too sure about at first, I am really loving it now!

This time I coloured them in Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke and used some of the Always Artichoke striped paper from the Regals DSP pack.

The ribbon is the lush Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and the sentiment was computer generated.

Stamp - Pleasant Poppies

Ink - Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Basic Black

I took Keiran to see Huddersfield play Bolton tonight at the Reebok stadium, but he was so cold and tired we left at half time. Although we (Hudds) lost 1-0, it sounds like the best half of the game was the second half...typical eh? At least I didn't miss a Hudds goal lol!

Speaking of tired...I better head to bed myself!

Goodnight!

More Butterflies!

Hello again!

I know, 2 posts in as many hours almost!

I am trying to use up a few things that are on my desk, and so here is a card I made using a card blank that had a couple of marks on the front, and a panel of cut out butterflies that I thought didn't look even at first, but I think I was being over critical lol!

I have used the Bitty Butterfly punch & Designer Series Papers for the butterflies.

The sentiment is Teeny Tiny Sentiments and the ribbon is Marina Mist from the Spring/Summer catalogue.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Punch - Bitty Butterfly (S/S)

Papers - Designer Series (Subtles, Brights, Regals)

Sentiment - Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink (Daffodil Delight)

Ribbon - Marina Mist Striped Organdy (S/S)
