Blue Eyed Boy - Jack 23rd April

Jack is tiring himself out with all the crawling he is doing, he tends to give in to sleep much better now and just falls asleep on the floor, so we just cover him over to keep the drafts off him and to be honest with you he is so lively when he is awake you wouldn't dare let him sleep on the sofa in case he rolls off.

So onto the blue eyed boy picture.

Mmmmm he just melts his Grans heart...

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.

If you would like to have this card then please leave me a comment and I'll do a draw for it.
