Blue Floral Thanks Card

The floral image in the SU! 'Fancy Phrases' set is so pretty, I love the soft, sketched look.  I needed a thanks card and I got out the stamp set, CS and ink and just played.  I added in an embossing folder and embellishments to complete my design.

Here's the card and envelope together.

I cut a strip of Seaside Spray CS, embossed it with the 'Tasteful Textile' 3D embossing folder and glued that to the front of the Night of Navy card base.  I stamped the image in Seaside Spray ink, cut it out with a 'Stitched So Sweetly' rectangle die, added some Seaside Spray metallic ribbon and popped the rectangle up.  I used a sentiment stamp from the SU! 'Tasteful Textures' set - the stamp reads 'Thanks for making it easy to believe in myself' but I masked off the other words so I could just stamp the word 'Thanks'.  Such a lovely font!  I stamped in Night of Navy ink onto a Seaside Spray 'Stitched So Sweetly' rectangle which I popped underneath the white rectangle.  I sprinkled on some 'Artistry Blooms' sequins to finish the card front.

Here's the inside of the card.

Here's the envelope.  I stamped the image on a piece of Whisper White CS, cut it out with a circle punch and layered it onto a Night of Navy CS circle.

Owl & Wheat Happy Birthday Card

This is the birthday card I made for our special friend Debbie - who loves nature.  Debbie is a member of the RSPB, she goes bird watching and one of her favourite outings is to go somewhere around dusk where it's likely you'll see a barn owl come out to hunt.  I knew when I bought this Woodware 'Lino Cut, Hunting Owl' stamp that I'd have to use it for Debbie's birthday card!

Navy blue is one of Debbie's favourite colours - probably her absolute favourite colour actually - so I went with a Night of Navy and Whisper White colour combo.  I know Debs also loves wheat images so I used a wheat stamp as a background for the card front and to decorate inside the card and the envelope.  Here's the card and envelope together.

Here's the card.  I stamped the owl separately, fussy cut it and popped it up.  I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it using white embossing powder.

Here's a closer look at the moon.  I added some shimmer with a clear Wink of Stella pen.

Here's the inside of the card.

Here's the front of the envelope.

Here's the envelope flap.  I stamped part of the owl image, cut it out with a circle punch and layered it on a Night of Navy punched circle.
