One for Steve & one for Stephen.

Good evening to you and welcome to my new followers, its great to have you!
It has been ages (a week is ages!) since I showed you anything I have made, so as im off work this week I thought id show you something that was not work related-just for fun!
So here is a card I made for my Steve's 12th birthday.  You will notice the almost lack of embellishment and bright colour etc, it is not cool when your 12, apparently.... 

I used a vintage car and my treasured scrabble set stamps from Claritystamp, silver embossed onto textured grey card, added a little shading with black Adirondack. I used an Ek punch, and I embossed the satin Silver card with a folder.

To my relief, it was well received!


Now for a card for Stephen Nicholls, my lovely FB buddy.

Do you recognise the stamps? yes they are more Claritystamps. The cutting dies are spellbinders designed by Donna Salazar- I love these.

This one was well received too!

See you soon.

  1. Love your cards - very masculine and yes, you definitely can't have too few embellies on a 12 year old boy's card!

  2. Loved them both....but if I'm truthful I like the card with the owl the best.
