Tuesday Monochrome

Hey Stampers

Today I have 2 cards to show you, both of which I cased from another blog cos they were just too cute to ignore, so Margaret and Making Papercrafts, thank you for some inspiring cards.

The card from Making Papercrafts used Night of Navy and Whisper White but I went for Black & White.  Such a lovely idea to have everything mirrored in negative.  The punches are Two-Step Bird and the Small Heart punch and are punched in both Black and White and the sentiment is from Occasional Greetings.  The crimper gives the lines top and bottom creating another element.

Obviously the colour scheme is the same.  The large stamp from Baroque Motifs is the main element with thte smallest flower from the Boho Blossoms punch being added on top with some tiny pearls in the middle.  The sentiment is from Cheer & Wishes and has been punched out on black using the Modern Label punch.

sorry the picture is a bit blurry, not quite sure what happened there, although I'm sure you get the jist of it ;o)

See you soon

Mothering Sunday

H i Stampers

It is Mothering Sunday and I have had the loveliest day.  I didn't get up until midday though and although that does sound bad, in my defence I was singing last night with Mojo and didn't get home until 2am, not sounding quite so lazy now I hope. 

Chris took Conal out for the morning so i could enjoy my lie in.  He even brought me in a Starbucks, it doesn't get better than that.  The three children all made me handmade cards which was soo lovely, and no, they didn't use Stampin Up products! 

These cards are similar, both on the wedding theme and I like to make a stock of wedding cards as there does tend to be a glut of these over the summer months.  The main stamp set and the colour scheme are the same for both cards.

Very Vanilla and Regal Rose CS are coupled with Chocolate Chip Ink.  The jumbo wheel is So Whimsy and this is really a versatile item, I have used it so much and often colour in the circles using the marker pens.   The 3-tier cake is from Fun and Fast notes and again I've used the marker pens as I didn't want the sentiment from the stamp.  The Happy Anniversary is from Cheer & Wishes and I've used the White Craft Inkpad for this and a little strip of Chocolate Chip satin ribbon to finish it off.

For this card I've used the Very Vintage jumbo roller and used the sentiment from the wedding stamp separately and layered on top of the ribbon.

Alrighty I'm off to enjoy the rest of my day - I think it may even involve some crafting.

See ya
