Little boy blue

Happy Saturday dear visitor.  Thank you for stopping by.

My card today is for Cody, Jen's grandson.  His birthday is next week so I need to make a start on them.  (Vicky - no sharing with him.  They have to be a surprise lol)

The image is a stamp from the Molly Bloom Birthday Parade.  The papers, buttons and ribbon are also from this set.  The only items from my stash are two pieces of Centura Pearl - one in dark blue, the other light blue.

I started by making a 5 1/2 in square card from the dark card.  I then layered papers and pale blue card stock to create the next layer.  The stamped image was cut with a circle die and layered on a matt cut with a hexagonal die.  I ran around the edges of all the pieces with Weathered Wood Distress Ink.  I think I went a bit heavy handed in some parts but I can live with it.

I tied a knot in two pieces of ribbon and attached it to the card with silicone glue, then stuck two buttons on top.

So that's it finished.  Only three more to do and I can move on to someone else's birthday lol.

Catch you soon.  TTFN Jude xx

Make a wish

Morning all.  Hope our UK visitors enjoyed their day off yesterday -  even if it was the last bank holiday before Christmas!! 

My card this morning is a simple one made to add to the pile taken by Mum to sell at a charity event last night.  Her friend's daughter has been battling breast cancer for a few years and recently was told that there were no further signs of the cancer.  Obviously this is brilliant news and the event was a way of raising some funds as a thank you to Weston Park Cancer Hospital, here in Sheffield. 

 

I started with papers taken from the Molly Bloom set I purchased a few weeks ago.  Two of the co-ordinating sheets were cut to fit a 15cm square card.  The corners were rounded, edges inked with Scattered Straw distress ink and finished with faux stitching in a peachy Promarker (can't remember the name!)

The image was stamped on to plain white card, coloured with Promarkers and cut out.  I slit the cupcake so that the candle could be inserted and added the make a wish tag.  The edges of this were also darkened with the scattered straw and then layered on a third paper from the set.

An easy make for a Monday - what do you think?
