Geared Up Garage - BOOM!

My card today is for my Son from his Granny.

His birthday is 4th July, a great day to celebrate!!

He is a complete car nut case and the car above looks like one that

was about to be dumped when Milo rescued it.

He fixed all the parts that needed replaces, resprayed it and made it his own!!

Amazing boy!!

So the card had to be a car related one and I was inspired by the fellow

demonstrator Julie Gislingham for the busted paper idea!

Or as my Son would say 'BOOM'!

He's going to be 34 by the way lol.

The sketch is one from Try Stampin' on Tuesday.

A Good Man - journal page

Today is Journal Thursday.

I can't believe this is my 7th page (including the cover).

It has been so much fun, so relaxing and has made me think about things

I don't normally give too much thought to.

My page today represents memories of me in my Dad's arms when I was young.

Every year we went to Bray for our holidays, which is a lovely

seaside town in the south of Ireland.

We spent a lot of time at the beach and when I saw this stamp it really

brought those memories to life so I knew I wanted to create a simple

page of me in his arms staring out at the sea.

He had this shirt that he wore on all his holidays which my Mum hated lol.

It was blue with a big yellow flower on it!!

This is my childhood interpretation of the beach where the sea just

seemed to melt into the sky.

I still love to stare at the sea and have a dream of some day living

somewhere close to the ocean.

My page was covered in a mix of gesso and seaside spray at the top

and daffodil delight at the bottom

I added some deeper colour to the water using balmy blue

and finished with dollops of gesso for a bit more effect.

I know it is not a fantastic take on the sea but it is my take.

For the sand I found some sparkly fluff and added it to the daffodil delight.

Looks much better in real life though.

I simple stamped and coloured the image and added a sentiment

which to me, sums it up exactly!

Crackle Paint Tag

I came across a new challenge, well new to me, all about making tags!!

So happy. I love making tags but only did them for Christmas last year

so now I get to play and enter them into a challenge!!

The theme is Wings so I thought the Butterfly Gala stamp set

teamed up with the gorgeous Crackle Paint stamp would be perfect.

I punched my tag, making it bigger than the 2" slot,

then stamped the crackle paint using Seaside Spray ink.

I inked up around the edges, working into the centre using same ink.

I stamped and punched the butterflies in memento and coloured

using daffodil delight blends.

The sentiment was stamped directly onto the tag, and I then added

the butterflies, finishing them with bodies and antenna.

You know how I like everything matching so I pulled out the

precious new scalloped linen ribbon in seaside spray to finish it off.

Floral Essence Anniversary card

I am knee deep in commissions this month so I'm trying to incorporate

more orders into my Stampin' Up! makes.

This one was a request for my son for a 2nd anniversary card

for his lovely wife Baiba.

He sent me the photo and I went from there.

I did use up some of the older DSP, sorry if I have tempted you lol.

The card is lovely lipstick and I have stamped the flowers from Floral Essence

stamp set in lovely lipstick and the leaves in granny apple green.

The frame was made using the rectangle stitched dies.

They are such a lovely wee couple.

So generous with their time, and would help anyone at the drop of a hat.
