Former Festive Friday cards

 

Good Friday Morning Ladies, 

By the time you are all seeing todays post we should be on our way back from Heathrow with Adam & Becca,  I have been so excited to see them both 😊 

We then have a quick turnaround,  as we have about an hour (depending on traffic) to have a cup of tea and get ready to leave for Watford.  I am so looking forward to seeing you lovely ladies. 

So as it was an early night after a sleepless night I am sharing a couple of 'Festive Oldies' with you. 

The first is a Stencilled Christmas card :

 Today's card was made using Sweet Poppy's Bauble Stencil, I inked through it with Iced Spruce & Wild Honey Distress Ink (not oxides). I tapped the blending brush quite heavily on scrap paper so that the ink went on lightly and gradually built up the colour and blend. I added the Wild Honey to the centre of Bauble and added touches down the ribbon.  After the ink was dry I stamped the cottage which is also a Sweet Poppy stamp, after I stamped it I used water to renove the yellow ink from the snowy rooves, I used a Quickie Glue pen and added some fine glitter.  I quite like the subtle colours. 

Card 2: 

Today's card is the card I made on Saturday following Tracy Evans Workshop, I thoroughly enjoyed making it, especially as I had someone special in mind. I think they are fun because there is no decision making involved, I did change a couple of details though. It involved inking, blending, stencilling, stamping, fussy cutting and layering! I took my time, after spending time creating a multi layered background you don't want to mess up the stamping! I would thoroughly recommend Tracy Evans Workshops, she puts so much thought into every element. 

I hope you don't mind another look at these cards. 

Have a lovely Friday my lovelies, 

Love and hugs to all of you,
