Mothers Day

Well, officially on annual leave now and after our weekend away in Margate I definately need it!! Then again it has not been that relaxing...Spud wont give me a moments peace so it has been difficult to get anything done, although the washing mountain has been tackled...yeah!

So the theme is Mothers Day and the two cards here are for a friend and my mother in law...I would put up the one for my Mum but she is now keeping her eye on my blog so dont want to spoil it by posting hers......and its not finished yet!!!

Recipe:
Stamps: Laura Ashley Love Song, School Book Serif Alphabet

Ink: Night of Navy, Bordering Blue
Card: Cordinations Royal Blue, Tranquil Blue, Whisper White and Laura Ashley DP

Accessories: Paper Crimper

This next card is for my mother in law and I cased the lay out from Splitcoast resources site...... I really liked the layout and wanted to try something different, but it was really difficult to photograph due to the sun and light wind but also to try and best capture the stamped image through the punched out image.......


Recipe:
Stamps: Delight in Life (I think)
Ink: Night of Navy, Elegant Eggplant, Rose Red
Card: Night of Navy, Elegant Eggplant, Rose Red, Whisper White
Accessories: Word window punch, 5 petal flower punch.



Hope to get some more cards/projects done this week so fingers crossed will be back with some more posts.



Take care
