Bloom & Grow

This is another Crafty Bunch birthday card, again I had slightly grander plans for it but there we go!

As soon as I saw Sue's name added to the birthday list I thought of this stamp.  Sue opens her lovely garden for the National Garden Scheme and I am hoping to visit again next month (the tea & cake were also pretty good last time).

This is a trimcraft stamp designed by Helz Cuppleditch called Bloom & Grow.  I've stamped it and coloured it in copics.  The sun was 'made' by using a piece of card with a circle punched out of it and daubing ink through the hole.  I had a couple of little birds to add to the sky I remembered after posting the card!

Image double layered on matching card, as is the stamped sentiment.

A5 card base has been covered with a sheet of paper from the new DOCrafts Home to Nest range and a couple of punched pots added at the bottom.

We have actually had a few days of sun now - hope everyone is enjoying it!

More Mothers Day

Another week seems to have flown past.

Knotched up quite a sales list again this week - no wonder I never get round to playing with new things. Maybe next week!

These are a couple of cards I have been asked to re-produce a few times.

The Forever Friends is an invertage design from the new Pink Parfait sets. The paper is also from the set and decorated with some gems for a bit of sparkle.

Pepper the dog is a new set of papers and matching everything from Trimcraft.

This particular Pepper is from the die-cut decoupage pack and although I am not particularly a 'doggy' person I know plenty of people who are and he is rather cute!

The card is another 8x8", decorated in some matching glitter effect paper. Pepper is stuck together and layered on to the card.

The trusty SU oval punches are used for the peel off 'Mum' greeting.

Copic playday on Saturday now to look forward to and received a fab new quilling tool in the post today so need to play with that!!
