Fathers Card

A Birthday card for my Father in law, I have really struggled with Fathers Day coming up this being the first since I lost my dear Dad so I actually bought my Father in Law a card for that, however, it is also his Birthday on Friday so I made him this card and left off the Father wording and that seemed to make it easier for me.
The card was inspired by a photo I took whilst in Appleby Magna (Staffordshire) I love these colours as they are so warming.
The tree stamp is a Graphicus Stamp inked with Close to Cocoa ink then touched with the Inkssentials gel pen to add the highlights, I sponged the edges of the card with the same coloured ink to add depth to the card.



Ohhhh I love this Button, not cheap to buy but hey isn't it gorgeous.



The card was made so I thought I'd carry on the theme to a bag to house some toffees.
The template for the Bag can be bought at The Digichick

Flourished Pearls

Flourished Pearl card...
The base and patterned card I got from a friend at the weekend (Thanks Greta)
I loved the colours, that patterned card has a punched edge I did this with a Kreation Punch then adhered it to the base card.
i punched out some tiny blossoms and dotted the centre of them with a matching coloured pen, glued them in threes down the side of the card then used the Inkssentials opaque gel pen to create a stitched vine effect. The Flourish Stamp was inked in Ocean Tides Palette ink (both from PapertreyInk) and stamped onto white card then little aqua pearls added to the flourish.
Finished with a jewel and some ribbon.


The ribbon is slotted through the back of the glass jewel, actually it isn't a jewel at all it is a button I found in a knitting shop but knew it would be perfect for my ribbons on my cards.

Tear Bear

My first Tear Bear, actually I don't like it but I wanted to give making one a try, he is far too dark as this was the only thick Mulberry paper I could find that would be suitable to make one with.
It was made by drawing round shapes with a wet paintbrush onto the paper then teasing the circle away from the rest of the paper which left the hairy looking edge.
The sentiment is by Stampin Up
