I was able to get a bit of crafting in before we had the family celebration for my MIL’s 80th birthday.
First up is a card for Just Add Ink #509 = Colour challenge.

I stamped the main flower from Uniquely Creative ‘Spring bouquet’ and then coloured it with my Stampin Blends.

Next is a card for:
I stamped the Christmas tree from the Altenew ‘Sketched evergreen’ stamp set. I cut a portion of the panel from the left side and then added some gold glitter paper under the edge to make the tree pop. I used Catherine Pooler Design inks in ‘It’s a girl’, ‘Party dress’ and ‘Royal treatment’ for my tree. This is my favourite Christmas tree stamp and is a staple of my Christmas card making each year.

Next is a card for Just us Girls #540.
I stamped the bear holding the sentiment frame from Taylored Expressions ‘ Big Grumpy’ stamp set and coloured him in with my Stampin Blends. I added a bit of DSP to ground him and some sequins for balance at the top.

Lastly is a card for:
I was inspired by the fishing theme of the TCC photo. I used a stamp set from Close to my Heart called ‘Let’s Go Fishing’. I stamped the sentiment across the centre of my card to mimic the banner and the fish is stamped with SU Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock ink with gold embossing for the finer details. I fussy cut the fish out and popped him in the centre to match the sketch.

Well, that’s it for now; i’m off for lunch. Thanks for stopping bu, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Great cards, Tristan! You must have been busy! Love the ‘I’d rather be fishing’ card! So CAs but so wonderful!! Hope you the enjoyed the celebrations for your MIL! 🙂
