Robin & Baubles

I think this is my year for birds on Christmas cards.  I've just received a few of the Cool Chicks from Stamping Bella.

Following the inspiration from Julie Beech, I changed the chicks into Robins.

A different angle to catch the sparkle and shimmer.

This is the day ...

CASology Challenge has a new challenge - and the cue word is FAITH.

Watercolour is not usually connected with CAS cards, but I find that if you contain the image to a smaller area, then you still have lots of white space.

Come and be inspired by a visit to check on the creations of the design team. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

Here is the Merry Trio ...

Upgrading a card ...

When those big Birthdays come around, you need to up the ante. I had a lovely rose gatefold card, but I wanted to make it extra special.  So I added numbers from the Concord & 9th Double cut numbers die set. I love that you can give that extra pop.

I felt the rose needed to be more grounded so added a knotted string along the green base.

I also made an envelope to match.

Golfer's 60th - Stencils

Playing around with more of my golf stamps and some stencils. I was inspired by the design of Karen's card.

I thought the plaid was a good fit for a golfing card.  I like the feel of depth even though this is a one layer card.
