Dad's Workbench

Its my fathers birthday next week and he always loves getting my cards so I wanted to do something very special and creative for him. This is what I put together. I had to go searching for the perfect image for the front and found this sweet image from Lili of the Valley. I left the front very clean and simple, because the surprise is on the inside (his very own foldout workbench!!)

Baby Animals

I have a few friends expecting little bundles over the coming months so I made a group of baby cards to have on hand for when they finally drop. As most of them do not know what they are having I've kept some of these cards neutral.

    
   

Card ingredients include:

Stamps: Kaszazz 'Adorable Friends' & 'Scrabble Background'
Distress Ink: Monkey: Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemon, Vintage Photo
                     Giraffe: Lucky Clover, Mowed Lawn, Squeezed Lemon
                     Elephant: Stormy Sky, Salty Ocean, Lucky Clover
                     Rhino: Worn Lipstick, Pickled Raspberry, Aged Mahogany
Papers: Cardstock
Other: White embossing powder, twine, buttons.

Just Bee You!

I'm playing along with this month's progressive challenge over at Simply B Facebook page. This months fun image had a recipe of a Black/White/Yellow colour combo, at least 1 DP, at least 1 ribbon and finally some embossing (either wet or dry - I used a hexagon stencil and some white embossing powder to create some 'honeycomb'). This is what I came up with.

Dies: My Momenta Mix & Match Butterfly, Memory Box Umbrella Trio, Taylored Expressions Tag Stacklets #2
Distress Inks: Worn Lipstick, Barn Door, Aged Mahogany, Dusty Concord, Storm Sky, Broken China, Iced Spruce, Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn
