Watercolour Sympathy Card

Although my late father was very good at watercolour painting, it's not something I've ever really done much of.  I decided to give it a go with this Craft UK lily stamp & Derwent Inktense pencils. I didn't think it turned out too bad for a first attempt!

Craft UK lily stamp, Derwent Inktense pencils, image edged with Peeled Paint Distress Ink, K & Co backing paper, American Crafts plain cardstock, ribbons coloured with Pear Promarker, Meiflower pearl ribbon buckle to finish.

Football Birthday Card

One for the boys!  My son's best friend will be 12 on Thursday.  He's very sporty so his card had to have a sports theme; I've had this Paper Nation decoupage in my stash for a long time.  I saw a 6" square stepper card online & came up with a template to recreate the same thing in metric (I can't work in imperial!)  I hope you find it useful.

Mother's Day card - Clarity Hummingbirds

The central image for this card was created using the Clarity Hummingbirds stamp, Perfect Medium & mica powders.  I made the main image a year or so back at a card class at Weavervale Garden Centre but was waiting for a suitable occasion to use it.  I didn't have the right stamp to create the greeting so had to use peeloffs, something I rarely do these days. I chose a circular shaped greeting because of the circles on the main image, and a rectangular pearl ribbon buckle to echo the shapes in the backing paper.  I'm pleased to say my Mum loved it!
