Dreams du Jour Pocket Card.

Here is another pocket card this time using the Dreams du Jour stamp set. I love the butterfly and bought the set just for the butterfly, but since having it, I'm really liking the other images. The DSP is Urban Garden, I think the colour combination of Basic Gray, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy is gorgeous.

Stamp Set: Dreams du Jour
Card: basic gray, whisper white, baja breeze

Hi, hope your having a great day. I have two kids home from school today and most of next week, the swine flu has hit the school and it's closed for a week. I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. It's lucky that I work from home and don't have to take time off like some parents have to. They go back to school on Friday for one day then it's school holidays and their home for another two weeks. I'll have to think of some interesting things for them to do like clean their rooms and wash the car. grin My older child is not happy at all, his school is still opened, but for how long!

The card I have to show you today is a Wedding Anniversary card for my Mum and John. I've used my new stamp set Dreams du Jour and I got to play with my new toy the crimper. I love the crimper in the Stampin' Up! catalogue (made by Fiskars) it is so much better than my old cheep one which struggled to crimp two sheets of DSP. This crimper can crimp cardboard from a packaging box very easily and is much wider. I'm going to be playing with it a lot.

Recipe
Stamp Set: Dreams du Jour
Ink: pink pirouette, ruby red, kiwi kiss, basic brown, close to cocoa
Card: close to cocoa, whisper white, pink pirouette
DSP: Urban Oasis
Punch: eyelet boarder
Accessories: crimper, blender pen, stripped ribbon pink pirouette, 2 way glue pen, snips, dimenionals

Hopefully, with the kids home, I'll be able to get some computer time...

Fifth Avenue Floral.

Here is the card I made for my Mum for Mothers Day. I know mothers Day was weeks ago but my Mum only just got back from a three month trip and I saw her on the weekend. So now she has it I can show you.

I'd been itching to watercolour the rose from the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set, it's so beautiful and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I've also used the eyelet boarder punch, (love it) DSP Raspberry Tart, and the background image is from the Friends 24-7 stamp set. I can't wait to play with it more.

Recipe
Stamp Sets: Fifth Avenue Floral, Friends 24-7, Short & Sweet
Ink: versamark, stazon black, basic gray, pink pirouette, regal rose
Card: watercolour paper, confetti white, basic gray
DSP: raspberry tart
Punches: eyelet boarder, small oval, large oval
Accessories: aqua brush, taffeta ribbon very vanilla, rhinestone brad, dimenionals, snips

K Werner Colour Inspiration #44

I love the colours Kristina's picked this week, sooo yummy!

Sweet dreams.

Love birds.

Kristina's colour inspiration #41. Riding hood red,basic black, basic grey & whisper white. I love these colours together, just stunning, so I've kept this card simple. I used real red in place of riding hood red. And the Love Birds rub-ons from the Summer Mini catalogue over lapping the black and white rub-ons. The photo's a shocker, it's hard to photograph black and it's been raining all day and all last night. Wish it would head down south.

Thanks for looking.

Love You Card.
