Well hello again, and welcome to my haven in a hectic world, thanks for popping by, this is my second video for today and I just loved making this card.

.7 x 6 (leaves).
My card base is (nsu).

• cut the top part off the handle and adhere to the top of the umbrella using liquid glue, now do the same with the bottom part of the handle.
• Stamp the flowers from the (r) sweetly swirled (ss) using rich razzleberry and rococo rose ink, stamping off for 2 of the rich razzleberry flowers.
• Punch out the flowers using the (r) bitty blooms punch (it's only the centres of the flowers you want).
• Then using the balmy blue (cs) punch a couple more flowers.
• Punch out at least 5 of the leaf shape from the bitty blooms punches. 
• Adhere these flowers and leaves across the bottom of the umbrella using liquid glue.
• Attach the finished umbrella to the card base using dimensional pads.

Artisan Texture and more!

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world.

Happy Birthday Thomas from Grandad J!

This is my second card for today.
When I went to post Tom's card while out on my daily walk last Tuesday (postie is slower to deliver just now due to Corona, they can't work faster than they already do) I realised that there wasn't a card from his Grandad (88 & housebound just now), so I rushed home with an idea in my head, but once I started, something totally different came out, hope you like it!

(cs) = card stock, (ef) = embossing folder, (ep) = embossing powder.

• Using the whisper white 1st layer (cs) stamp the images from the artisan textures (ss) using all of the (18/20) in colours.
• Emboss this layer using the coastal weave 3D (ef) then adhere to the blueberry bushel card base  using liquid glue.
• Die cut the birthday sentiment from the well written dies using the blueberry bushel (cs), and adhere across the card using liquid glue.
