Happy Retirement

My brother-in-law Terry recently retired and I thought this image suited the occassion.

The stamp is from Wild Rose Studios and is coloured with copics. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey. The buttons and string are from my stash and I've punched contrasting circles, scrunched, then distressed with ink.

The train theme is because Terry is a model train enthusiest and now he has retired he will hopefully have some time to work on his train layout.

Thanks for looking.

Father's Day

Father's Day was a couple of weeks ago in Australia and this is the card I made for my Dad.

The base card was made at a craft show some years ago that I never finished so I've added a stamp from Inkadinkadoo aptly named 'Horses' and a greeting from Stampin Up.

Thanks for looking.

Butterfly Tilda

Back again with another Magnolia Tilda (Butterfly collection).

This is a tea light candle card decorated inside to include 4 candles. I made this for a friend at work and found a cute light candle holder to go with it. The pattern paper is from Kaisercraft Bubblegum Hills collection and I've used a round doily and some pink cardstock. The flowers are from Wild Orchard crafts. I've used my very last MM metal happy birthday. I've loved using this form of birthday greeting but have been unable to find them in stores anymore. Let me know if anyone knows where to find them.

Thanks for looking

Back with a Magnolia Card

Hi - back again in blog world.

Have had a really busy couple of months and although I've been making a few cards I just haven't managed to post them. My brother was married in July and I was given the honour of making the invitations. I was quite happy with the result but found I just couldn't face making cards after making 45 card like invitations.


Anyway , this card was made for a friend using Magnolia Tilda stamp. I used a glittered pattern paper from First Edition paper pad. I've coloured using copics but trying to resemble distress inks. There's a great youtube tutorial by Suzanne Dean explaining the process.

Hopefully I will post a bit more regularly unless life gets a bit hectic again.

Until next time.
