Pleased with these latest cards....

Here is a Man's birthday card featuring a stamped fisherman from a Clare Curd set that I coloured in with felt tips - the colour being put on an acrylic block and using a damp paintbrush to colour in.  On the blue base card I laid little squares of sayings pertaining to fishing my favourites being
'There is always a little boy in the old man gone fishing' and 'Good things come to those who wade'!

I used a cream base card and added a lovely Webster's Pages paper called 'Your Life. Beautiful'.  I then cut out an oval using the back of that paper which is a dusky pink colour and then started adding the lady from a Dufex Craft decoupage sheet called 'Elegance 2'.  I had used an x-cut corner cut out on the paper to finish it off.  I'm quite proud of this one!

 I decided to use another stamp from the above set this time a handy man one.  I stamped it on light yellow card and coloured it in exactly the same way as above too and stamped the sentiment from the same set.  I used a light blue base card and added a darker blue paper with stars on right behind the main picture and at the bottom a paper that has lots of saying pertaining to men like 'boys will be boys' and 'Like father, like son'.

I used a lovely turquoise patterned paper from Websters pages called 'Brocade' and a little turquoise and red oblong piece called 'Gypsy Sisters'. I added a little plastic flower motif and then added the 3 toppers using sticky foam pads after colouring in the roses with glitter gel pens. Then I added the anniversary sentiment in a gold peel off plus a little gold heart. The middle topper has a verse on it - 'Love brought you together as husband and wife and gave both of you a best friend for life'.
