The last of my cousin's commission.....

.....hopefully I will be delivering them to her on Friday and we will go out for a pub lunch :o)

I hope all is well in your world this lovely morning, although the sun hasn't managed to peep through just yet, hugs.

On to my cards for today, two more very simple ones to share with you, and although they look a bit black and white, they are actually ivory and brown!



Base cards are ivory linen from Papermill Direct, folded and cut to 6x6 and 7x5, and the images are stamped onto the same. Mats are brown card from stash.
Both images stamped with Hero Arts using Memento inkpad, then cut with Spellbinders.
Sentiments are from SU and My Creative Time.
Nothing else I can say about them really :o)

Another agapanthus card

Good afternoon everyone, it's a bit late in the day for me but heyho, better late than never, so they say!
I went for physio this morning.  She put me through my paces and was delighted with my progress so she discharged me Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee :o)
Onto my card for today.





Base card is white linen card  folded and cut to 6x6, or more correctly, to fit into a 6x6 envelope.
I stamped the background with Hero Arts wood block stamp set and Big and Juicy inkpad.
Agapanthus cluster stamped with Memento ink as is the SU sentiment.  Ribbon from stash.
I hope you like it :o)

Autumn for a change

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well, warm and dry.
My card for today features a photograph I took earlier this month just up the road from where I live. I was on my way to Long Eaton and had to stop and just gaze at the wonderful Autumn colour with the sun shining on them. It was truly magnificent :o)


As usual, I feathered the photograph in PSP then printed it onto Papermania textured card, then folded and cut to 5x7.
Hero Arts stamp was used for the sentiment, which is one of my favourites and was particularly relevant as I had done just that to get this picture.
The acorn die was sent to me by a friend who had two, as were the leaf diecuts :o)

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well. When I went to bed last night the frost was very thick, when I got out of bed at 4am it was all gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that I am complaining, of course.
I had a great day yeaterday. Started these 4 cards, then went and had a wander round Long Eaton before going to George's tradition for my lunch, then came home and finished the cards off, then later I spent a couple of hours with CSI :o)
Anyway, I digress so on to my cards

Own photographs played about with in PSE5 and PSP
White linen card
plain black card
A smidgeon of Glamour Dust (on the pine cone card)

Not a Christmas card in sight.....

.....but I do still have some to show you yet LOL.
Good morning everyone, what a lovely Autumn morning it is too with hazy sunshine and that tiny nip in the air. I am finally comfortable with the temperature and I hope fervently that we do not get the temperatures promised for next week!
Anyhow, onto my cards which I have made using some of my Autumn photographs.





For the leaves card I created the leaf border in SCAL and cut it, and the single leaves, out on the Cricut. I opened all of the photographs in PSP and added borders, and in the case of the leaves card I also added the caption. For the other three cards I printed out larger photographs on plain paper for the backgrounds. The two stamps used are Hero Arts and the embossing powder is Papermania copper.
I am quite pleased with the end results but there is always room for improvement :o)
