A little metal...

Hey all!

Have you got a weekend of fun planned for this bank holiday? I am working, sadly, but we are going to Southport for a few days on Monday, which I am very much looking forward to!

I would like to welcome yet another new follower, Deborah to my little blog. She is incredible at colouring...you should check her cards out!

So today's card has been made for the new challenge over at Less Is More...it's been a long time since I entered on a Saturday morning! The recipe this week is ...
METAL

So here is my offering...

I used Work Of Art for this male card (yay a male card!). I masked off the middle section before stamping the long stamp in Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake and Tip Top Taupe, then scored across the panel.

The sentiment is from Remembering Your Birthday and stamped in Crumb Cake. I finished with a Gold Basic Metal Button along with some Linen Thread.

I'm off to work now...I hope you have a lovely weekend!

All about the Mums!

Good morning peeps! 

It was Mother's Day in the UK yesterday...did all you lovely Mummys out there have a nice day? I was working but Keiran came home from his Dad's with a beautiful bunch of flowers and a card! 

He also made me this gorgeous card at school....

I think he has the makings of a crafter, don't you?! ;)

Ok so here is my card for today...this was the card I made for Mike to give his Mum....

The two butterflies from the Butterfly Thinlits have been sat on my desk for about 3 weeks, and I have been trying to use them up, so I designed this card around them. The Sweet Dreams DSP offered the perfect backdrop and worked well with the Sahara Sand Lace Trim.

The sentiment was created using the die and stamps from the Crazy About You Bundle. I finished with a Gold Basic Metal Button and some retired Thick Baker's Twine.

I used the sketch at Freshly made Sketches for my inspiration.

I hope you have a lovely Monday. I will be back tomorrow to show you one of the cards we made at Craft Class on Friday!
