Water colour stamping

Carolyn from crafts by Carolyn put a link on the forum to some tutorials on how to use stamps to create water colour.

I have had a bit of a play using some woodware stamps and see D stamps.  I also used SU inks to water colour with.  Quite happy with the end result so might have a go at creating a little project.

My dad is 70

I'm sure he will be happy with me sharing his age. (Plus it is on the cake). We had a lovely time down at my parents on Sunday when he had a few friends around for a bit of a party.  Chelle was tasked with making his childhood favourite party food.  Bunnies in the lawn.  Dad had to eat it all as no one else likes blamange.  She also made the Pork Pie birthday cake.  It was lemon flavoured inside and absolutely wonderful.

Dales cake

 

Dale spends a lot of time climbing so I thought I would make him a climbing cake.  In an episode of The Big Bang Theory, one of the characters (Sheldon) faints when he is on a climbing wall so I made a little Sheldon in his Flash t-shirt.  He is on the other side of the cake but I didn't take a picture of that side.  Whoops!!  Any way he was really pleased with it.

Dales birthday

This is the card I made for our little boy who is now 20.  (He still sleeps in like a teenager).  Earlier this year he was pratting about on a skateboard and ended up in A&E for 4 hours.  Luckily he didn't break anything but spent a few weeks on crutches because of the pulled ligaments.

Baby boy card

Loved the colours of these papers from Cosmo Cricket's Storytime collection.  I think the big piece of patterned paper was K and Company.  The little image is a stamp from Stampin up that I won in a raffle when I went to Hayleys. http://craftwithhayley.com/

 

Card wallet

Here is another card wallet.  This one was made for my mother-in-law.

On the water

Horray.  Finally we have had a sunny day without too much wind so we could get out on our new toy.  This is a photo of Gary with Plymouth in the background.
