Howl at the moon!

Happy Friday!

I have been away for a few days in Wicklow

with hubby and it was so great to have

a little break as we haven't been away from

last September!

Weather was amazing, nearly too hot, dare I say lol.

My card today was made for my Son's 40th last week.

I used a stencil/mask set from Sheena Crafts

called Howling at the moon.

The stamp sets that go along with it are called

Be one with nature and Just Breathe.

I also used a few SU sets called

Sip Sip Hooray, Happiness Abounds

and Part of my story.

The papers are from Nitwits called Pocake Masculine.

I used various inks and markers to complete the card.

Inside I made an envelope to hold his birthday money.

has begun.

As always, we have a great prize up for grabs

from AALL & CREATE

For my card I have used a lovely stamp from AALL & Create

called Fragile Fragments.

The card is a tall slim one and the stamp

fitted it perfectly. I stamped it in black then added

colour using my markers.

I matted it onto black then onto my slim pink card.

I stamped the Valentine sentiment from a stamp set called

Country Bouquet (SU) in pink ink and matted onto black

before adding to my card.

I punched out some small hearts and coloured them

in the same colour and added to card using dimensionals.

Our challenge theme for February over at

WE LOVE STAMPING

is CAS!

We have two prizes consisting of stamps from

a company called Lavinia.

For my card I have used a set from Sheena Crafts called

Just Breathe and Howling at the Moon.

I used the stencil to mask off the white area

and stamped my scene inside.

I then inked it up in red and yellow.

I added faux stitching around the edges along

with stamping Grandson and Happy Birthday.

It was matted onto black card then onto my

white card base.

Other stamps used are Family Party and Sweet Ice cream (SU).

I added some highlights using my white acrylic pen.
