Fathers Day Part III

Afternoon Crafters!

Weather's really been trying to make an effort here today, but hasn't really succeeded. Sun is peeking through the clouds and rain has managed to stay off, but it's hardly bikini weather now is it ....

This is the last of my Fathers Day cards, for my hubby (not that he's my father, but hey he is father to my kids...so I suppose needs must LOL):

It's a little tribute to The Italian Job, you know - the Michael Caine film. OH loves this film, so he should love the card too (he'd better or there'll be trouble :oD)

Ingredients:

Image: John Bryars 9masked mini stamped over

Sentiment: Elzybell

Medium: Promarkers

Papers: CS fom stash and mirriboard embossed with my cuttlebug

Embellishments: Card Candy (silver coloured with Promarkers to match cars)

I'd like to enter the above card in the following challenges:

A Happy Ever After...

I'm back!

I had a wee bit of spare time on my hands so thought I would make a couple of challenge cards today. On doing this I have discovered that I really really NEED craft storage space!!! Although even once I have it I probably still won't be able to find what I want in my stash.

After much hunting I came across all the bits for the below wedding card, it could also be used for an anniversary card as the sentiment is quite generic (big word for a Sunday). I think I will be giving it to my mum and dad who will be 44 years married this year.

The stamped image is by Lily of the Valley and the sentiment is by Elzybell. The papers are Papermania ones that I have had for years - hence why I couldn't find them :o) The flowers are from stash and the pearls from Kaiser Scrapbook. The flower centre is a brad which was part of a huge scrapbook set from Costco, which I got for very little pennies :oD - love a bargain me!

My Wee Cousins is now a Mrs

Morning from a beautiful sunny Beith.

My wee cousin got married in Montreal, Canada. I couldn't manage to go to the wedding, as much as I would have loved to as a Scottish/Greek wedding sounds like a fantastic excuse for a party! I used to babysit Nicola when she was ickle and I can't believe she's married, where did those years go (answers on a postcard please :oD)?

This is the card I made for Nic and her new hubby Tim.

The stamp is from Lily of the Valley . I just love these kiddies dressed up in wedding togs. It reminds me of when I was little, trying on my mum's wedding dress and imagining that it was my big day!

I coloured the back ground of the image with Worn Lipstick Distressing ink and coloured the image with my Promarkers. The papers are from My Minds Eye that I got as a freebie with a magazine. I added two wee flowers to the top left and bottom right corners and little pearls to the centres to finish them off.

I love this little sentiment from Elzybells which I cut out freehand and inked up with the distressing ink and mounted to match the background.

I don't know where I got this little bow from, but it's so cute I wish I could remember. I added ribbon in the same colours as the bow and mounted the bow on the bottom left of the card.

Well that's it - the newly married's are in Peru at the moment on Honeymoon. I wish them all the best for their future together and hope they end up old wrinkly married's!
