 For my DT card I ummed and ahhed a bit and discarded some ideas and then came up with this:

I've used a parchment square pre-printed with watercoloured flowers - from my stash and I've had them ages so can't tell you where I got them from......... I've mounted it onto a scalloped square die cut which then was popped up onto a 6" square card blank.  I then fancied CAS(e)ing the amazingly talented Loll who made a copper maple leaf a couple of weeks ago - see her post here.  I punched the butterfly using a SU punch and then punched the tiny dragonflies using a small Dovecraft punch.  I then used my cooks blow torch on them to change the colours - but if you try this be careful because (a) they get very hot and (b) it turns colour very quickly............ so little bits of heat at a time is best.  The sentiment is Stampin Up inked with Pumpkin Pie.

Our sister blog at Addicted to Stamps and More is also looking for a CAS card this week, anything so long as its CAS so you have two chances!

Thanks for dropping by.  We can't wait to see what you come up with.  Happy crafting.

It's a boy...........

Well, for those of you who check out my sister Val's blog you will know that we have a new addition to the family in the form of baby Charlie who arrived safely on Saturday weighing 7lbs 10oz.  Mother, baby and father all okay!!!!  lol

I have made two new baby cards, one of which is here - I will post the other later in the week.

I have used the gorgeous digi stamp from Sugar Nellie called Bambino.  I coloured him in using Flexmarkers and then got my sewing machine out to stitch the image onto backing card.  I then pieced the backing card together (from my stash) and stitched that as well.  Then this was put onto an 8x8 card blank.  The sentiments were computer generated on CraftArtist; the top one punched out and matted using Stampin Up punches and the bottom one used Spellbinders Ornate Frames - the cut outs from the sides I added to the top and bottom of the frame for a different look.  I've added gems, flowers, hat pins and ribbon and the last touch were two baby feet punched out using a Dovecraft punch.

Thanks for dropping by.
