Quick floral card

Hello lovely people,

It's another busy week for me but Dr. Hubby and I did squeeze in a little coffee date this morning.  I decided not to have cake...don't worry, I'm feeling perfectly well but it's nice and sunny so I'm holding out for an ice cream this afternoon!

Now, despite keeping up well with visiting all your lovely blogs I haven't done so well with actually posting anything on my own blog - oops!

So, I have a sweet little CAS card to show you, using a new floral stamp set, which I fell in love with and just *had* to have...and then when it arrived I suddenly realised that I had no idea what to do with it!

After a little brainstorming and Pinterest searching I came up with several ideas, so this is the first of a couple of cards I made using it.

I have simply stamped the flowers in 2 shades of Versacolour ink (lilac and heliotrope) and added the dot stamp around them in silver.

I used my MISTI for this and it was especially useful for adding that sentiment - no more 'eek!' moments for me :-)

I hope you are all having a good week and it's all downhill to the weekend from here !

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

Beer for Dad

Hello lovely people,

The sun is shining this morning and I am in a 'get things done' mood so I thought I'd just pop by really quickly to share the cards I made for Fathers' Day.

It's spot the difference for the second one...they are almost identical!

You might be able to see that I popped the wording up on foam pads for the second design.  Oh, I nearly forgot to say...I made the wording for this on my computer in the style of some popular word stickers that I have seen and I was really pleased with them.  So you may see me using these again!

 The beer bottle stamps are from a wonderful set by Card-io and I bought several other manly designs at the same time so just need to find time to play with them all!
