Hidden message

Hello friends
Happy World Card Making Day!

I needed a quick card to welcome a new neighbour,

faffed about as usual, and ended up using an old stamp called Cozy Cottage.

I had thought of using the large letters dies,

then doing the hidden message technique.

I started by positioning the letters temporarily,

but ended up stamping the house again on a new piece.

It was so detailed, there were too many missing bits,

and even though I tried filling 'em in,

I think it looks better like this.

I did add a bit of fine liner (eg end of path),

in fact I've been inspired by Vicky Hayes to not be afraid to do this!  

I'm so glad she's back blogging, are you?!

If you don't know already, do hop over to her blog, you'll love it!

Obviously had to add a heart "smoke"

I'm getting a bit clean and simple lately.....who'd have thought?!

Colorful Seasons

Hello again, hope this finds you well.

I needed a card for a neighbour who loves his garden, used to be our Footpath Officer,

and loves everything to do with the garden, sometimes relaxing with a glass of wine :)

I had an idea in my head.....didn't work out quite as planned (does it ever?),

but ran out of time to redo/make another, so here's the "how"....

I stamped the wall & gate from Cozy Cottage....

added the path using marker pens to ink the bits I needed.

The deckchair from Colorful Seasons was next (american spelling)......fussy cut the canvas of the chair, then made a drink ......(luckily there's a wee die) .

Used the marker pen to add bits of the grass from Cozy Cottage,

adding the longer grass from Wetlands in the same way.

My perspective is suspect, probably should have added some sky instead of the sheer hill lol,

but I just wanted to show how you can use bits from sets to make up a personalised picture.

He will of course have no idea how difficult it was, so I just hope he appreciates

I made an effort and that it was at least hand made :)

Barn Door Bundle by Stampin' Up! by a Cozy Cottage

This is a Host set in the Spring catalogue,

and I think it's adorable.

I made a "new home" card, with the cottage on the outside, and the 

dry stone wall on the inside.

Here's another video
