By The Bay meets Home To Roost

  Thank you for joining me today!

So sad, this is the last thank you card for Sue, they are moving next week so no more lovely dinners. But we do wish them well and hope they're very happy in their new home.

They're moving to Devon so I thought this cottage scene would be quite appropriate. It's mainly water colouring, dry embossing and some blending. 

The inspiration for this card came from Rochelle at Stamping Flair 

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic thick white, merry merlot 

Dies: stitched rectangles (5 & 6)

Embossing Folders: *pinewood planks, * subtle 3D

Ink: crumb cake, early espresso, merry merlot, *seaside spray, smoky slate

Stampin' Blends: cherry cobbler, night of navy (used to colour the rhinestones)

Stampin' Markers: crumb cake, garden green, merry merlot, old olive, seaside spray (used for the water colouring)

Stamp Sets: *by the bay, *home to roost

Accessories: basic rhinestones

(smoky slate & seaside spray were used for swiping the background)

Happy 8th birthday Kayden, love you loads!!

 

I didn't know what to do for Kayden this year, so did my usual and looked on Pinterest.  I found one by Debbie Reemtsen I liked, so this is my version using almost all the same products, but getting a different look. So thank you Debbie.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, *galvanised metallic, granny apple green, pacific point, pumpkin pie, real red

Ink: pacific point

Punches: banner pick a punch

Ribbon: *black cord

Stampin' Markers: granny apple green, pumpkin pie

The eighth was computer generated, and the black cord was used to hide the line running through the middle as the card needed to be run through the embossing machine twice as it was bigger than the folder.

Hello Cheryl, just a quick card to let you know I care and miss you!

I fancied doing a rainbow type card this week and this is what I came up with. There's a little mistake but you really don't notice it, one of the flower centres  is the wrong colour. I used rococo rose instead of pale papaya but 'hey ho' this is real life and mistakes are made sometimes.

Designer Series Paper: pattern party

Dies: pierced blooms, stitched rectangles (6), tasteful labels
