Anniversary Card

Now that the wedding season is with us we shouldn’t forget that the anniversaries that are also prolific. So to celebrate that special anniversary with humour I’ve made a lovely card that your friends and relatives will love to get.



For this card you will need:

1. 1 DL card in pale blue.
2. The loving couple stamp from our new Flaunt it sheet of unmounted rubber stamps.
3. 1 sheet of white card for stamping the image and the background paper.
4. Youth is a State of Mind Stamp from the Funny Ladies sheet of stamps.
5. Art and graphic pens from Kuretake in Pink, Skin Tone, Grey and Blue
6. Stazon in Stone Grey

What to do:
1. Use Stazon in Stone Grey to stamp the image on to a piece of white card and trim to size. Colour the image with the pink and blue pens and use a little water to thin the paint to give a paler colour where needed. Edge the card in blue.
2. Decorate a piece of card with the pink calligraphy from the Heart set that you have edged with the blue pen from the Art and graphic pens from Kuretake. Trim to leave a fairly wide border as seen in the example. Edge the card in blue as you did with the earlier card.
3. Stick to the base card and use 3d foam pads to stick the loving couple sheet to the card.
4. Now, use Stone Grey Stazon to stamp the Youth message and again edge in blue. Yes, lots of blue edging here I know but it helps to harmonise the Images.
5. Use 3d foam pads to stick to the card. Your card is finished.

One Sassy Lady

Kim at Simply Faries has spurred me on to use one of my most popular stamps. I liked what she did so much that I had to have a go as well. This is my effort.

As usual I used the Brushables and the Art and Graphic pens from Kuretake to colour the image.

A Few New Cards Instructions to Follow

Don't you just love the painter and decorator. I should imagine that that's how a lot of husbands feel.

Comments at Last

Well my pleas didn't go unheeded and lots of lovely and welcome comments have arrived on my Blog.

A big thank you to everyone who commented and I promise to keep on posting.

Here sre the next installments in the funny sports people series.





These two are great and they both come from the Funny Sports People sheet of stamps from that great company 'I Brake for Stamps'.

I've used the ribbons from Craft Fairy and paper from 'Take Out the Stash' . The colouring is with the Kuretake pens. Some times it's the Brushables and at other times the Art and Graphic twin pens. I also used the H20 brush to make the scenes look like they are watercoloured.


Both cards are 140 x 140 cm.

Golf Anyone?

I'm sure that you will all be glad to know that it's raining here today in sunny Italy so I've had to stay indoors and get creative. No hardship really as the alternative was to help my husband in the garden. It's no easy task in the heat. Not the same as sitting on a beach at all.

So this is what I've come up with today.

I've had this stamp for a while and I've been itching to use it so today I sat down with my pens and coloured him in. I love that miserable face and the birdie on his club.
