Daisies

Hello again, 

Well blogger is being a pest, this is my third attempt to get this post up.... I nearly had the whole lot typed up and it just vanished and hitting undo worked until I tried to add something again....

Thank you for all the kind thoughts and well wishes after my surgery, I had no pre-cancerous cells this time! so rather than surgery every 6 months I have a reprieve and will have surgery to check up on things in 12 months.

This is the card I made last week for my Mum's birthday, I have used a similar layout and some of the same patterned paper I used on the rose card I shared here. The main image is a stamp I bought at the local craft show almost a year a go from a local Aussie stamp company but I cannot find it any where online... only the business side seems to have a website.

Here is my card:-

What I used:-

12.6cm x 17.8cm (5x7") card blank

Heidi Swapp wide striped paper and glitter paper

Sugar 'n' Spice patterned paper

Stamp-It Australia 'Daisy Bunch' cling stamp

Prismacolor watercolour pencils + water

Ranger clear embossing ink

Wow! Ebony super fine embossing powder

Whispers Opaque Embossing powder

Sentiment stamp from Art Stamps Australia

Wplus9 wide scalloped border die

MFT pierced rectangle die

MFT pierced fishtail flags die

Brads and sequins from my stash

Rose Birthday

Hello again,

Seems like ages since I was last out here on my blog, I have had a much easier recovery post repeat surgery in mid August, so hopefully I get good news when I got back to the specialist this week... One of our family history friends is celebrating her birthday today and we gave her this card along with a new azalea plant which we happily found out will replace one that recently died in her garden.

I messed around with some scraps of card deciding on just which colour to make the rose, once I had settled on Raspberry versa color, I inked the stamp up carefully cleaning off the ink from the leaves and stem. Stamping first the flower portion before cleaning and reinking the leaves and stem in Olive versa color and stamping. I used MFT pierced fish tail flag die to cut the rose out then dug around in my large scrap file for the gold mirri card, found some deep pink cardstock and a wide striped paper from my stash.

I managed to smudge the ink on the rose, thankfully it blends in though. Apologies for the photo quality this one is the best of a bad bunch...

Here is my card:-

What I used:-
White 5x7" card blank (12.6x17.8cm)
Heidi Swapp Marquee love paper
Darkroom Door Rose stamp (Full Bloom Vol 1)
Rasperry and Olive Versa Color ink pads
Gold mirri, black, white and deep pink cardstock from scrap files
Lawn Fawn Happy Birthday sentiment die
Tiny self adhesive gems
Fiskars Corner rounder punch
Wplus9 Scalloped border die
MFT pierced fishtail flags die
Adhesives:- Double sided tape, adhesive sheet, PVA glue
