Double Up!


It's time for my midway post for
and the theme is
anything goes option hand colour your image.
Just remember to add some stamping!!

We have a great prize up for grabs too!!

For my card I used a piece of designer paper and added a
vellum overlay and then ran it through my sewing machine.
I then stamped the bird and leaves and coloured them
with markers and cut them out.
I arranged along the bottom of the card then
stamped the sentiment and punched it out with
a postage stamp punch and added some red dot detail.
I tucked it behind the leaves and finished with a ribbon.

Items used:
Stamp set - Free as a bird (SU)
Postage Stamp Punch (SU), markers,
vellum, sewing machine, retired papers (SU),
ribbon, enamel effect dots (SU).

I would like to enter this into
(bird and leaves)

I also have my midway post for our
anything but square over at

We also have a great prize on offer there too
so be sure and join us!

For my card I went with a Teepee shape.
I have a quick tutorial for this card here.
I went with a Velcro closure for this one.
The flowers have been stamped using a set called
Floral Essence. I punched the leaves
and the sentiment is from another stamp set called
Sweet Ice Cream.
The papers are called Country Lace.
I finished off the card with some gold sequence
and a piece of lemon lolly ribbon.

Lovely design to your first cars an lots of work Pinky, I've never tried machining vellum but looks to work well.

As for the second, what a super shape and always love blue and yellow as a colour palette.
