Congratulations Paula, if you send me an email with your details on, I will pop the card in the post for you.

There is a little story behind today's card, when I first started to make cards many many years ago both myself and my Mam fell in love with this stamp it is by PSX and called Bird Bath, I decided not long after buying the stamp that I was giving up crafting as my girls were toddling and I had nowhere safe to keep my craft stash out of little girls reach.

I actually sold all of my stash (scary) then maybe a year later I was missing crafting so much that I started again but of course I no longer had this stamp.

Today my Mam came visiting and brought with her a bag of stamps which she no longer used and this little beauty was in the bag, I know that my Mam often visits my blog so I have a feeling that she may want this stamp back ha ha (too late Mam it's mine now).

I coloured the stamp image with Promarkers then used the Nestabilities Ovals to cut it out and also some scallop ovals in aqua and lemon. I used the Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls folder to emboss the aqua background card and added a matching striped paper to the left side of this. lots of matting and layering, some pearls and ribbon and a bit of love to put it together.

If you would like to win this card please leave me a comment and I will do a draw for it.

So on to today's card

Ooooo the power of masking tape, I started the card by masking off a strip along the top and the bottom of a piece of card then using teal ink and a sponge I blended the ink into the centre of the card, using the same ink I stamped the flourish from the silent night stamp set (Papertrey Ink) and stamped around the edges of the blended centre. After removing the masking tape I embossed both top and bottom of the card with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots A2 embossing folder.

I stamped a sentiment from Stampin Up and used the circle punch to cut it out.

After that a bit of matting a layering and a ribbon and a couple of charms were added.

On to todays card

Clean and fresh in moss shades.

I used Nestabilities labels to emboss the front of the card then cut out a smaller label shape and stamped it using the Lovely as a tree stamp set by Stampin Upinked with a mellow moss ink pad. I used the same ink to add some shading to the edge of the label die and the edge of the card to make it pop.

I added a green moss sheer ribbon and tied it around the card and into a bow at the front left side of the card.

The sentiment was stamped then punched out using the word punch by Stampin Up
