New House

I apologise for not blogging for a while. I had tried to host my blog on my own domain, but I seemed to have trouble with it and I haven't had time to sort it out. So I have reverted back to letting the blogger host it.

My daughter and her fiance have just moved into a new home in East Leake , Nottingham and we went up to help with some of the packing . I made this card to welcome them to their new home. I used one of the stamps from the Easy Events set which is new to this years catalogue. It is a very versatile set with lots of uses.
Card used: Certainly Celery,  Old Olive and Very Vanilla.
Embossing folder :Perfect Polka Dots
Punches: 4.4cm Circle and Decorative Label

I stamped the design in Basic Black and then coloured parts  the design with watercolour pencils and used the blender pen to blend the colours

Lovely as a tree

Image
Both the Less is More Challenge  and the Simply Stampin Challenge  have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week. The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
