A Bit of Research.

Both Jim Harker (artist for la Pashe) and myselfwent out researching on Thursday and below is a few shots which tickled me.

The one below I just thought it was qaint with the round leaded window and lots of candles for the dark evenings.

Now this little baby is what I call an iron and us girls think we have it bad now!

Can you imagine having to spin the yarn before making the woolies for a hard winter?

Winter Scene

I started with a white 15 x 15cm base card and scored lines across the bottom edge using a ScorPal, the image which is a stamp by Serendipity which I inked with Brocade blue ink by Stampin Up then cut out using the long rectangle Nestabilities I then mounted this onto the card at the top an added a little stickles to make it sparkle.

A pretty blue sheer ribbon was slotted through the ribbon tag then tied in a bow, I then added the Tree charm to the bow, the charm brads make a pretty accent to a card and they only cost £1 for 6 of them from here

On the ribbon tag by Spellbinders I stamped the Papertrey Ink wording in the same blue ink as the main scene then swiped the ink pad all around the edges of the tag

Christmas Star

Sometimes less is more or so they say.

I often revert back to less as I love clean lines.

This is a simple two tone black base card and the trees along the bottom edge were punched out using the new XCut Christmas tree punch, I then added gold glitter card to the inside so that it would show through the trees. I used a Spellbinder label die to cut out the two shapes, one in gold and the other in the black card that the base was made from and heat embossed the Star stamp with gold detail embossing powder, I finished the card with a simple gold ribbon.

The Engineer - Mo Manning Image

It is Jim Harker's Birthday on Friday and I was dreading making him a card until I stumbled across this digi stamp by Mo Manning.

Jim is the Artist I work with at La Pashe, as you can imagine making a card for an artist is some mean task "but" as Jim is just crazy about trains and steam this image made it oh, so easy.

I coloured the image with Promarkers.

Attention to detail...

I used buttons and a leather twine to embellish the card. The background paper is one by K&Co which is all about railways and the stamping on the cream is a Steam Engine made by Personal Impressions.

This is what I did for the insert

Fingers crossed that Jim doesn't pop onto my blog.
