Clarity Stamp Husky Dog

I simply love these dogs, something quite mystic about them. As I did a clean and simple card yesterday I thought I would keep the same theme but I think this one is quite striking.

clarity Husky

I used the new Flex Markers by Letraset  keeping the colour tones cool I used the watermelon shade on the background and also brought this to the front of the card too by matching the ribbon. I cut the shapes with the quickutz cookie die and the Husky is actually behind the die-cut card and not layered up. you can see it when it is full size.

Heart Wrapped in Gold

I’m hoping that I got this right. I know the lady of the house goes for a clean and simple card when it comes to giving card so I’m betting on her liking the CAS style.

anniversary card

I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the leaves onto the base card, it is a Sizzix embossing folder from the fall set, I scored the bottom part of the card using my ScorPal.

The heart is an unmounted stamp from Impression Obsession. inked in green then gold thread wrapped around and a pearl added to the center and the scalloped heart was done with a spellbinder heart die. A pretty satin ribbon tied into a bow finished the card.

Proms in the Park

What a wonderful wonderful time we have had, it’s fabulous to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life and spend some time with good company, good food and good entertainment and that is just what we did this weekend.

We booked up for Castle Howards Proms in the Park, we have been before and it must be around 10 years ago and it is as good now as what is was on our first experience.

This was our bed for the night
