Multiple A's

Welcome

The local swap group I am had, for the April Challenge, the letter A!

I have lots of A’s on this card, some the complements of DGD’s vivid imagination, so here goes….

An Accurate image of an Aluminium (coloured) Aeroplane, gaining Altitude against an Azure sky amongst Airy Clouds, layered on an Apple green card base…. 

I think I may have managed a few A’s there!

The background is brushed with Catherine Pooler Something Blue ink,

The stamp (now discontinued, (by Kiwistamping)  was silver embossed on white card, coloured with a silver pen, then fussy cut.. 

The greeting I layered up using blue mirror card over white, is an old Ellen Hudson die, the clouds, are an old Whimsy die set - both sets are discontinued

I was definitely stash busting on this card!

A Trio of Cats

Welcome

I recently made a card for my three year old Great Grandson, and what better than to use a trio of diecuts.  These are unmarked, and I have had them unused in my stash for longer than I care to remember....

I glued the white die cuts on a deep blue panel, then onto the orange base

Happy Birthday was embossed in white.  It is from the Uniko Floral Vines stamp set.

\

And the digit was die cut three times and stacked - my digits are an old, very well used set of dies!

I decorated the inside with a stip of bright blue sparkly sticky tape, that I also attached to the outside of the envelope.

White with a Pop of Colour

Welcome

No I have not fallen off the edge of the world - 

First I lost my USB stick with my photos on,

Then I just plum got busy... culminating with a long weekend away with friends...

This card was created as an exchange in a card swap here Down Under, and the challenge set was

White, with a Pop of Colour

 I think I might have overdone the colour a bit, but the recipient loves it.

I was really pleased with the result

The 'smile' is an old M.B. die, and the daisies are  John Next Door (NBUS) die I have had for some time and only just used.

The paper is from a rainbow sheet of paper that I have had for longer than I care to remember, from the days when I bought patterned paper by the sheet when I found it, then came the pads.... 

I trimmed both the inside of the card and the envelope with the scraps.

I also forgot to take the photos until after I had written in the card and on the envelope, hence the pieces of paper covering parts of them.
