A WELL DRESSED MAN

I seem to be on a masculine project roll this week.

Today’s card is quite simple but looks very presented, like the stamps in the WELL DRESSED STAMP SET from the Sale-a-bration Second Release Brochure.

I decided to also use a sentiment and DSP from the COUNTRY CLUB SUITE.

I used my STAMPARATUS to hinge stamp the graphic on the right hand side of the card. I stamped the image three times, with a double hinge step between each. Then I placed the stamp in the opposite direction to complete the design.

I used my Garden Green Marker to colour the Happy Father’s Day section of this stamp:

I have used the Stitched Rectangles Dies so many times since adding it to my craft collection. I used the same die for both stamped pieces but used the die again to create the square for the sentiment.

Although Father’s Day is not until September, in Australia, I have a card ready for the occasion.

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS

As a mother, of two gorgeous daughters, now 29 and 25; Jacque Williams’ 1,000,000 Sales Achiever Stamp Set resonated with me.

For this card, I decided to focus on the image of the single woman for a Mothers’ Day card … yes, I know … a bit early.

Combining this water coloured image with the Heirloom Frames Dies and 3D Embossing Folders resulted in a ‘portrait’ that is ‘hung’ on a textured ‘wallpaper wall’.

The frame has been enhanced with a generous application of Clear Wink of Stella.

I think my mother would have liked this card … my plan is to give this to my sister-in-law for her mother, Linda.

I used the ‘no line colouring’ technique for water colouring this image.

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

MUSIC FROM THE HEART

My grandfather was a renowned violinist and my grandmother an accomplished soprano … and, although I sang in the school choir in primary school, I am essentially lacking any musical skills.

But that doesn’t mean that I lack a love for music … all types (no, most types). Music has the ability to lift your spirits, be your background rhythm, evoke emotions, be therapeutic, fill the silence … as many different roles as there are people.

For this card, I wanted to keep it simple. Stamping, use of two colours, a little fussy cutting and a little bling. I hope you like the result.

I am very pleased with my little blue birds.

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

mmm … Michele
