Brick Wall

At Swap Sisters this weekend, they have a challenge of Mosaic, which is a technique of using your left over bits of your stamp. I changed this slightly and used my left over bits to make a brick wall. I saw this card a while back that used a brick embossing folder to create a background then graffiti images over the top. I loved it ( sorry can not remember who or where I saw it).Then when I was looking at JAI challenge this morning it was embossing and I thought I could combine the two. I like the way it has turned out, I am trying to make a few more teenager cards.My son made a card for his dad yesterday which He wanted me to put on here, He is very proud of it. So is mummy.

Ingredients

Card: RHR, Kraft, Black

Happy Bday Opa

My husbands Opa had his 82nd Birthday this week so I had to make a card for him. I made two so my husband could choose this was the one he didn't pick. Forgot to take a picture of the one he chose but was of the lighthouse also.

I love this stamp set, just lends itself to water colouring which I love to do. I have keep it a very simple layout and no bling or ribbon Opa is a man who would like that type of things. So I have tried to keep it simple to fit his style.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OPA.

I have to go now and get the kids ready for a day out at a farm, they are looking forward to playing in the sun with the animals.

don't forget the promotions this mth, 20% off certain stamps and join for only $299 if you would like anymore info just contact me.

take care

I love the holidays

Yes I love the holidays, time to spend with my boys with out having to always be looking at the clock. I even got to finish a card that I started in the weekend with my friend and upline Shelley. Great start to the holidays. I have been very busy lately helping out at my youngest preschool so haven't had time to do any card making. But since the boys are playing happy with Tonka Trucks and a pile of stones in my hallway (very cold and frosty outside) I thought I would finish my card and add something to my blog.

I have done the JAI Scketch Challenge this week and have used one of the stamp sets that are 20% off this month. A rose is a rose, it's a great stamp set so easy to use. I have used my new background stamp Tre's Chic as the background. This has very quickly become a fave among my stamps.

the Card is very simple layout but I want the focus to be on the rose's. I am very happy with the way it has turned out. I am sorry for the photo have weird light around the house and I couldn't wait to take the photo. Kids playing nicely doesn't last long.

This second card I like the layout but could have done with some matting behind the Very Vanilla, just to finish it off.
