For Mum

Yaaaay! My Peacock card was Top 3 at Try Stampin' on Tuesday challenge #178, so a big "Thank You" to their lovely DT.

A quick post tonight as it's very late, but here's the card I've made for my Mum's birthday on Sunday

I stamped the lattice on brown card, and laid it on red card. I stamped the flower ring, coloured it with my AP and markers, then fussy cut it out and laid it on 3D pads on some wood effect card cut with a Framelit.I fussy cut some foliage and added them under a chipboard heart covered in red card that was embossed with gold word "Mum". The finishing touches (that you cant really see in the photo) were the mini pink gems in the flower centres.

I am entering these challenges :

Well, that's another busy week over, and before I knew it, the weekend has started.

My latest order from SU has arrived, and I've been dying to use the markers and stamps, but I haven't had time to craft until tonight. Here's a card I needed for my friends cricket mad husband.

The cricketer was coloured with my aqua painter and SU markers, and mounted on orange card. I used a bamboo stamp to make some stumps, and stamped the sentiment over them, before doing the same as the player panel. I embossed the blue card with a texture that looked like the bails off the stumps, and added the two panels with 3D pads. I drew white stitches on the orange cricket ball and finished it with a twine bow.

I will also be entering it into these challenges :

It was at Nathan's sports day on Tuesday, where he did very well in helping his house come second. 

Here he is with his rosette for 2nd in the sack race.

He was running so fast in the egg and spoon race that this is the only clear picture that I took.

It was also my SD, Dave's,  birthday on Wednesday, and Nathan and Sophie thought it would be funny to buy him a Darth Vader onesie. I think Halloween has come early, don't you??

That's all for now, so until the next time, have a good weekend (what's left of it!)
