Father's Day Card 2014 number 2

The main image on this card is from a pack of pre-coloured Wild Rose Studio toppers.  I thought the papers from a Dovecraft paper pad (For Men) matched the colours fairly well and I simply layered the tie patterned paper onto a kraft card blank and added strips of stipe paper in the corners.  I used some card candi in the corners to help the image stand out.  The image isn't layered but I did use foam pads to lift it from the base.  I used a different patterned paper to line the inside of the card although I kept the same colour family.  I think I initially couldn't make my mind up between the ties and the worded paper so decided to incorporate both!  The sentiment inside was a stamp that came free with a Docrafts magazine and was stamped onto white card, die cut using a Go Kreate die and edged with blue ink so that it didn't get lost on the wordy paper.

Friday Sketchers # 63

Time to get cracking with Christmas and this was a great sketch on Friday Sketchers. I just love these Fairy Doodle stamps that I bought at Newbury in July. I used Dovecraft backing paper from last year and my trusty water colour pencils for the image. The poinsettia is Prima and the brad, buttons and card are from my stash.

Another one based on the same sketch using another Fairy Doodle . The paper is from Dovecraft, and the ribbon was sent to me by a good friend. Brads, holly motif and card from my stash
