Throwback Thursday

Hello!

Happy nearly weekend day!

Todays card was inspired by 'that' John Lewis advert last year,you know the one-hare and bear? Well as soon as I saw Lawn Fawn's Hello Baby and Love you S'more ,it made me think of those two

They are too cute! I stamped onto watercolour paper with Archival ink,then watercoloured them with distress inks. I gave bunny a 'fluffy' tail using some puff-pen and mounted the card on to script paper 

I wanted to keep the middle of the hill paler so it didn't dominate the card with green.

I am looking forward to this years John Lewis commercial-they always are a tear jerker for me!

Have a great Thursday,see you next week!

Hello September!

Hello! and how did it finish being summer already? In honour of it being September, I thought I'd do a fall/autumn inspired card using several different Lawn Fawn sets.

The background was created by using the Louie's 123's dies. I added the dies onto the card blank, saved the insides of the numbers & added a layer of acetate behind the front to which I added the insides of the 6,8,9 & 4.  

 

The little bird is courtesy of this lovely set. I've not inked up the bird before, but I wanted the idea of the bird perching on a tree which was shedding its leaves (or hearts in this case!)

 

To get the tiny hearts, I used the dies from the Hello Baby die set; there are two different sized hearts- they may be tiny, but are ever so useful!

 

The little tree is, in fact from the Into The Woods set, but as that's out of stock- and there's THIS yummy new set instead (which is winging its way to me as I type, but didn't make it here in time for me to create this project!!). The trees here would be great, just trimmed down slightly.



That's quite enough flannel for me.. I'm starting to think of warming casseroles and steamed puddings, and hot water bottles and a roaring fire...oh wait..that's an advert..I don't have an open fire!! Meanwhile, I hope you don't have to put away your sandals just yet ;-)

 

See you next week,

Loving Marshmallows!

Hi! What an amazingly beautiful day! I was musing yesterday that most of us can do male Birthday cards- but a card to tell a bloke you love him? 

Hard. 

You don't want to go too cutesy & humour is often the way to go.

I thought this card nearly gets it right..plenty of 'man colours' but with a little pop of colour. The set is this one; 'Love you S'more' from Lawn Fawn

It was only a year or two ago that we learnt what s'mores actually were- in case you're wondering..

They're a campfire staple of graham cracker (kinda a square digestive biscuit), marshmallow and some sort of chocolate. Now hopefully- the little squidgy thing with eyes on my card makes more sense!

Righto- will leave you all salivating about chocolate, biscuits & marshmallows!

See you next week !
