Birthday Card



It's our nephew's birthday early next week so this is the card that I've made him. He has recently got back from his World Trip to take up his place at Exeter Uni to do his Masters Degree.



Sorry for the photo - I had to take it last night in less than ideal conditions & I'm not reknowned for my clever photography at the best of times! LOL



The image I used is the Surfing Chevy from Cornish Heritage Farms which I coloured with Copic's & used one of the charms that I bought in Australia ages ago. I again used an old map as a background paper, which I inked the edges of & used my nestibilities for the red mat base.

A Couple of Father's Day cards



For this card I used one of the stamps that I won on blog candy over on Amrosia & Iron - Joannes blog & coloured it with Copics.







For this card I made the rosette using ribbon pleated into a circle & the middle punched out using a circle punch, which I hand wrote No 1 Dad. It was mounted onto the backing paper & the Happy Father's Day sentiment mounted using sticky fixers.







And a sneak peak at my own father's Fathers Day card ........................................
Well it is 11 hours ahead of us in Australia :-) so early morning in Melbourne & already Father's Day :-)



Again using my Cornish Heritage stamp :-) I can see it's going to be a useful one.




And yes I know that the Aussie Mother's & Father's Days are different dates but Mum & Dad are British (& only been in Oz for 4 yrs) & I've been celebrating on the same day for 50+ yrs.....................................
