Hi I thought I would show you the cards I made for Fathers day. The first set were made with a Stampin up set called Lovely as a Tree, I used the main oak tree image as the focal point. The back ground was made using brown parcel paper and the oak leaf stamp with brown ink. I then used some jute twine and the small leaf to add some interest.
I made three of these for my Dad, Stepdad and Father in Law.
I then used the row of trees stamp to make a card for my Husband from the children.
I used smoke grey ink stamped first and then over stamped slightly offset with brown ink to give a shadow effect. The backing again was brown parcel paper stamped with the smaller stamps in the set. I enjoyed making these even though they are not my usual style at all and hubby’s was finished when I wasn’t altogether there see below. I am enjoying stamping and hope to do much more in the future.
I am currently having to rest after having some treatment on my back last week so will hopefully get some crafting time. I have now recovered from the sedation which completely knocked me out, and left me feeling out of it for just over 24 hours. It is taking me longer to get back to normal than i thought it would as well, but the enforced resting will hopefully get the mojo going as it has been a bit lacking lately. I have finished my OU course until September so if the mojo dosen’t reappear I won’t be too pleased. Thanks for looking Anna
