Simple stamping!!

Happy Monday!

What a weekend we had, yes, weather wise again.

We had Storm Antonio visit us on Friday night and the rain and winds

were crazy!! We were leaving early Saturday morning to get to Dublin

airport and we had to change course twice because of flooded roads.

Have we caused this havoc?? Is it too late to fix things?

Seriously there is something wrong with our weather for sure.

Anyway, this is my card for today.

Not my style really but during a zoom team meeting we were challenged

to give this a go. It was pretty simple really, just nerve wrecking lol.

Mood board inspiration!

Our August challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

is anything stamped with an optional mood board.

We also have some lovely prizes up for grabs too!!

For my card I have gone with the bird and the colours green and yellow

The layout is very simple with just two punched circles

of paper to which I added some colour to the background.

I stamped the branch, leaves and flowers then stamped and punched

the bird and added more hand cut flowers.

I finished with a sentiment and some little star embellishments.

I hope you get time to join us this month!

Paper Florist!

I did a tutorial over in my VIP group showing how I

made some flowers using foamiran and some in paper

with the die set Paper Florist.

The foamiran  flowers were quick and easy to make but I did not

have a nice white foamiran and the heat changed the colour of my ink

so think I will stick to paper/card.

The card above was made using the flowers and leaves that I cut from

the die set Paper Florist. It is jam packed with gorgeous dies

to make so many different flowers and leaves.

Put together with the Places in the Heart stamp set

it makes a really nice card for a new Mum.

We are off to Dublin in the morning to pick up my daughter

from the airport. We had planned to stay for a few nights

but the prices are ridiculous and I refuse to pay them!!

Seriously £500 for two nights bed, breakfast extra!!

It's only a 4 hour  return drive to airport so we shall do it in one go,

and stop off for a bite when we pick the girls up.

Books!

It's the second week of Valerie's theme book over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This week I used the same bundle again, 

Gorgeously Made, along with some bubble bath papers and black card.

I love the pink and black combo.

I made the basic tag shape in black, matted with pink papers.

I made a smaller tag using the page end die and stamped it with text

and inked up the papers in bubble bath ink.

I layered two papers and used another die from that set to give

the torn edge effect along the bottom so I could shorten the page.

I punched two hearts in black, small one for top and larger

one for centre and finished with a sentiment.

I hope you get time to play along this week.
