Play A Saw

Good morning all, here I am again with another little card.

I had a lot of fun putting this one together.

 

This one was made for my hubby on our wedding anniversary!

The reason behind this odd card is that we went to a party a while back & someone 

actually did play a saw! Yep, the kind you get from hardware stores!

It was incredible! 

We were both stunned. I'd never have believed what a wonderful a 

tune you could produce from a basic saw!

The watch/clock embossed panel was wiped over with gilding wax.

The clippings are from a cider bottle label! Hubby does love a cider!

The lace & buttons are from my stash.

The little sentiment tags are LOTV

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like my card!

Edited to add:- I was contacted via twitter by a lady who makes the most

beautiful music playing a saw. 

If you have a minute, you can watch her here

Angels

Good Morning all,

It's Monday again, which means it's back to work for me but

it's also time for the latest challenge at Eureka Stamps,

where the theme for this week is

#156 Angels

The image I have used is digi16604 Caroling Angel

I coloured her up using a combination of Promarkers, Distress Markers & Sakura pens.

There's a great selection of Angels for all occasions in the shop should you need one!

I used a sketch from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown for my layout

It's from June 2013

The vintage papers are from my Christmas scrapbox, I've had them forever.

The lace is from my stash & the sentiment is die cut using a sizzlit.

The image & circles were die cut using spellbinders dies.

I then gave everything a touch of Antique Linen Distress Ink to add a little depth.

This card is flat so it can be easily posted.

Thanks for popping in, I hope we see you in the challenge!

Good Morning all,

I'm back with another card today!

For those of you who asked, my first day back at work wasn't too traumatic

I actually enjoyed it if I'm honest (don't tell the boss though) Lol.

I used papers from my scrap box & a decoupaged image called 

Baby Bassinete from La Pashe 

which was left over from another project. 

The Double Decoupage download sheet came with both pink & blue images. 

Useful for twins or just to have a spare!

The lace is from my stash as is the pink satin ribbon & the pearls.

Leftover Wine

Good morning all!

Leftover wine? Fact or Fiction? lol

Actually, the card I have to share with you today is another that

I made using left over bits & pieces from the  La Pashe  

Grumps -Time for Wine decoupage sheet!

For this one, I used an A6 card base.

I die cut the image & inked with green liquid chalk ink.

I cut a mat from a scrap of Kraft card, 

 a frame & some fish tails from the last of the scraps of paper

from La Pashe. The stars were also cut from some scrap paper.

I cut them out & popped them up on foam squares!

These were all given the ink treatment too!

The sentiment is from a Tonic Tape Runner with has 

Happy Birthday in several different fonts. I ran it along another

scrap of craft card which I fishtailed at one end.

The little bow is one of my recycled bits of ribbon!

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you like this little card!

Good morning all!

Happy HUmp Day!
Here's another little card using a sepia toned image from a
La Pashe decoupage sheet!

 I used the decoupage on another card just recently!

This one is for an anniversary!

I've used a 6"x6" Kraft Card blank for the base.

The DP is from my scraps & matted on to some very dark brown CS

I wrapped this with some twine from my stash.

The image was cut out using a spellbindes die & edged with some copper gilding wax

I did the same with a matt of Kraft.

The sentiment is from LOTV & was stamped & embossed with Copper EP.

I ran a bit of gilding wax around the edge too.

The little beads are from my stash!

That's it from me, I hope you like it!

Nice & simple & super speedy!

Happy Hump Day all!

Don't you just love a Wednesday? 

Safe in the knowledge that it's all downhill towards the weekend!

I have yet another La Pashe card to share today! 

I've been trying to tidy up a bit & have been using up some 

of my scraps snippets & leftovers!

This one was made using the little sepia tone image leftover from the main

Time For Wine Decoupage Sheet from The Grumps range!

The papers are from La Pashe too!

I used a 6"x6" Kraft card base, added a matt of blue paper then the

star DP which was inked with a bit of distress ink

I added a die cut mat of the checked paper  which was also inked.

The image was cut using a circle die & the edges inked.

Next I added a frame cut from Kraft CS & inked then mounted on 1mm foam pads.

I added a strip of hessian/jute/burlap. The stars were cut from the DP & mounted on foam pads.

The sentiment is from a tape runner which has several different fonts.

Finally I added a little button, just because!
