Reflection of Lovely as a Tree from Stampin' Up!

I have waited a long time to get this set,

but I absolutely adore it.

It is so very versatile.

Here's one I made using the 'reflection' technique

I stamped the tree-scape in green,

then stamped it on acetate in blue, laid it on my card,

then gently rubbed over it to transfer the ink.

This technique can be used in lots of ways,

but works particularly well for watery or snow/ice reflections.

If you have a friend who is sad,

or going through a tough time,

send them a card.......just so they know you care ...

Lots of Love

Stampin Up! Lovely as a Tree for xmas

I shared this card the other day

where I'd used Lovely as a Tree

 in Island Indigo and silver embossing powder .....

But I also made this one,

where I used Pool Party embossing powder,

then Irridescent Ice over the top,

and then inked a frame around the tree scene

using a mask.

We also did this in one of my classes

where we stamped onto scrap paper,

cut along the horizon,

and used sticky notes to make the frame.

Here's a close-up

I found this idea on Pinterest....where else?!

Rudolph Day June

I made this one using Lovely as a Tree, embossed a silver one,

and added a That's the Ticket tag

.....Then I saw this other cute card by .....oh poo I forget so will edit later!

This is oh so simple to do.....
Punch/die cut a scallop circle, punch a dotty embossed circle,
add a strip of silver glimmer, cut to shape,
add punched star and tree....done!

So that's another one for the xmas pile!

Broad Beans

Alan had a bumper crop of Broad Beans this year.

Trouble is, I only like them skinned.

I can't tell you how many hours we've spent podding, blanching and skinning.

Then a friend told me you can freeze them, and then skin them before cooking,

so some have gone in the freezer with their skins on.

That'll teach me to be fussy with my food!

It's worth it though in my opinion,

they taste so much sweeter.

Is there any food you are fussy about?!

Father's Day

Here's what I used for my Father's Day Cards.....

Some photocopy paper, a Brayer, Ink, Circle mask, Dauber, and a stamp!

I used my computer for the verses, and laid down the background with the ink.

Both were very different....

Then I decided to add some colour with marker pens,

by just 'dotting' different colours all over the leaf areas

The bottom one is before it was coloured.....

Here's the finished cards 

I hope you have had a good weekend!
