Audrey Hepburn - Breakfast at Tiffany's

I always have a big problem when it comes to Natalie's (daughter) Birthday from a very early age Natalie was a typical Tomboy, no girlie clothes or likes, in fact she was a typical lad, so the usual Daughter cards just don't cut the mustard with her, the things that she does like is music, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe.
So I got out my Safmat by Letraset and got to work on this card and because Safmat is a translucent film that you print on it is ideal for letting the colour of the undercard show through so I ended up with everything matching on this black and white image from the film Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Photographs print perfectly on Safmat with no bleed of the ink so you end up with a very crisp image.
I teamed it with a DCWV flocked designer paper, black card and a EK Success ribbon border punch and a pretty dotted ribbon.

Feed the Birds–Card

Feeding the birds a digital stamp by A Day for Daisies coloured with Copic markers, some designer papers by Bo Bunny & Stampin Up and a bird punch also by Stampin Up, A pretty bow and Nestabilities circles to die cut the image.





I think the walk through the Park on Saturday with Jack could of inspired me for the above card, i had a wonderful day with Jack, his mam was on a training course and you’ll find out further down the post just exactly where his Dad was.



Jack was so well behaved and quite mesmerised by the ducks.

It was a lovely day and Jack loved feeding the ducks, this was the first time he had got up close to them.

You may well ask what the boys were up to whilst we were feeding the birds, well, the were heading off for a stag do in Blackpool and i can only thank my lucky stars that I didn’t have to go with them.

New Love–Prisma Pencils

It had been so long since I did a full Prisma pencil colouring and sometimes it is god to revisit old techniques that I really enjoyed making this card. I blended the colour with the white pencil and my finger rather than using the usual method of gamasol or baby oil.

The image is called New Love and can be found at A Day for Daisies .

I also used a Papertrey Ink polymer flourish stamp from the With Sympathy stamp set and heat set it with white detail embossing powder and blended the edges od the card going over the heat embossed detail with aqua ink.

Ribbon and pearls and a bit of love brought it all together.
