Grand Old Age

Hello all I can't believe how long it's been since I posted on here, where is the time going with the early dark nights and cold day's you just want to wrap up and keep warm.
We did finally do a little Christmas shopping last weekend but will have to get my skates on else time will run out.

Jodie asked me if I could do a card for her they were going to a 90th Birthday party, a friend Granddad, I just couldn't decide what to do, I suddenly remembered I had got my Steampunk cd., and I must say I really enjoyed doing something different, I always struggle with mens cards at the best of times.
I printed out the backing paper and topper from MCS Tinkering with Steampunk along with a boarder tag and sentiment, I made an 8 x 8 card base, I embossed a 90 onto a piece of scrap backing paper using gold embossing powder, I also had some embellishments to which I added some wings. He absolutely loved his card, and it was something different too.

Hello all hope you are all well, I needed something to cheer me up, I haven't felt to good this week not sure what it is probably a virus there is lots going around. So I thought I would look through my new S.W.A.L.K. Winter Cheer Stamps and CD which are available from Crafters Companion.

I Chose Love You Stamp, and printed backing paper and inserts from the design section from the cd, and a co-ordinating paper, I have used gold mirri card for matting and layering and have used my Grand Caliber to cut and emboss around this gorgeous image. I coloured the image in with my Spectrum Noir Pens. I am not really sure who I will send it too as yet, I will put it with my others I have made for Christmas, mind you I haven't done as many as I had planned to do, but never mind I will get there.
