A little bit of creative play

One of my students celebrates his Birthday during the school holidays so here is the card I have made for him. I will give it to his Mum today, at our last session, so she can keep it until 27th. Jester is quite an appropriate image!

This card is for the JUGS301 challenge to include gold - gold pen, gold embossing and gold card. It is also for F4A281 at Splitcoast which is to use a big image - this Magenta one is wood mounted and is about 4 inches square. I worked with Inktense pencils for a change.

I am hoping next year he may have calmed down a little and lessons will be more rewarding.

Stamping in white

Yep you read the title right - bit tough on the old eyes but using my daylight lamp helped.

I only truly stamped and coloured on the first card, as I decided to go with sponging on the 2nd.  I coloured the first card with Prismacolor pencils and Zest.  A simple die cut and plain base was all I felt it needed.  This is for the Splitcoast WOW challenge (TLC518) and was posted today to friends we had lunch with last weekend.  Their youngest is our Godson and we found out he is to be Baptised in March - the last weekend.  That is a date for our diaries!

The 2nd card was sponged with distress inks (Shaded Lilac and Faded Jeans with just a touch of Picked Raspberry on the butterfly additions).  I added the little flower sequins and a piece of paper from a Do Crafts paper pack called French Lavender - very appropriate as this is going to France.  This card is for the January Penny Black challenge. 

I am off to create again soon but DT work so you won't see those cards just yet.  Happy Weekend!
