Argentine Tango

Morning peeps

I had an e-mail from a regular customer at the start of the week asking if I could make her two 70th Birthday cards by Friday.  I had to say no because of the hours I have been doing at working, which upset me because she always comes to me for her cards.  Anyway, thankfully, she is now not seeing her Mum until Sunday, so I have been able to make them for her.

Her Mum loves Strictly Coming Dancing, so this has been the theme for both cards.  For the first one, she asked for something a bit more sassy, so I have gone with more of an Argentine Tango feel.  The digital stamp is called Dance from Mari Digis and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

Other materials used are:

White card stock

Teal card stock

Digital patterned papers

Tattered Lace Chandelier die

Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers Distress ink pad

Teal ribbon

Dazzler

Crystal Glamour Dust Glitter

A Musical Birthday

Afternoon peeps

I have been spoiled rotten this week.  Everything my Mum doesn't want any more she passes onto me and I'm not lying when I say that everything is like new, she has always taken good care of her belongings.  This week I have been given a steamer which she has only used once and then yesterday, she turned up with her double bed and mattress, the mattress alone cost her £400.  This is at just right time, as my mattress really needs replacing.

Anyway, I have made a male theme card this afternoon.  The digital stamp is called Music Director from The Paper Shelter and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

Other materials used are:

White card stock

Black card stock

Digital patterned paper

Inkylicious Musical Melody stamp

Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad

Laser cut musical note

Glossy Accents

Afternoon peeps

I'm completely confused as to what day it is today.  I normally start the working week on a Sunday night, but this week I started on Saturday night, so I keep thinking that today is Saturday, which isn't a bad position to be in as long as I don't go into work a one early.

Anyway, I got a little crafting in between food shopping today.  The digital stamp is called Snow White from Lemon Shortbread and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

Other materials used are:

White card stock
