Blue for Boys

Hello everyone,

I can't believe it's Tuesday already!  Where is the week going?

I had such a busy, but brilliant weekend.  I was helping run a Stampin' Up! stand at the Art Stamp Show at Newbury Racecourse.  I meet so many lovely people over the two days, and had a brilliant time with all the other girls working the stand.  Big thanks to Hayley Gillie for organising it all - you can take a look at her blog HERE

I spent a lot of yesterday making cards to send to lots of the ladies who visited the stand, they are now all in the post.  So back to my blog and I have just made a quick card today to show you.  I am heading out shortly to see Take That at Wembley Stadium.  Soooooo excited!!!!!!

I'm loving the Clean and Simple (CAS) look at the moment, so made this one layer card in a jiffy!

I used the star stamp from Fun and Fast Notes, inked with various blue markers and stamped directly onto Whisper White card base working diagonally across the page.  The sentiment is from the retired So Happy For You SAB set.  I thought the style of the sentiment went really well with the stars.

I'm entering this cards into two challenges:

Less is More - Shades of Blue

CAS-ual Fridays - Masculine

I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day.

I should hopefully be awake enough tomorrow to post again :o)

The Details: 

Card / Paper -  Whisper White

Stamps / Ink - Fun & Fast Note / So Happy For You (SAB - retired) / Markers in Bashful Blue / Marina Mist / Baja Breeze

Birthday Cake Card

I wanted to post a quick card that I made using the Fun and Fast Notes stamp set.

I decided to go with lots of circles for the background, all cut from the Nursery Suite DSP.

I kept with the subtle colours and used So Saffron for the card base, which I ran through the Perfect polka Dot Embossing Folder, and the circles were mounted on Pear Pizzazz card.

I used markers to ink the stamped image so I could get a variety of colours, and then used the Blender Pen to make the cake frosting pinkilicious!!!!  Yum, Yum.........
