A bit cooler today but still no rain , we are heading towards two whole months with only a trace of rainfall here .... our dust bowl of a garden could really do with a soaking from above .
I have a couple of recent birthday cards to share with you today and as the dates have passed now I'm able to post them .
This card I made using a new Woodware stamp set called Glasses as the recipient happens to be an optometrist ( clever eh ? ) .
I cannot take credit for this idea as I drew a blank when it came to using the stamps and searched the Woodware gallery for inspiration and found this card . I played about on Word to type the sentiment and then mounted the glasses on top with foam dimensionals .
This second card uses a new Die namics die called sheltering tree , it's so cool , it embosses the bark pattern as well as cutting the shape , I've placed a nestabilitie die cut behind it adding the leaves on top .
Well I'm off to do a rain dance to see if that works , don't blame me if it does :)
Back soon , thanks for dropping in X
Jenny - what a super card - love the specs!! And would be perfect for my family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing me to Jules - am going to give that a try!
Jenny - it worked - I can comment!! Yeah!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny! First, let me thank you profusely for posting about the blog comment problem. I spent so much time and tried to comment on soooo many blogs, and yes, I feel bald from tearing my hair out. Secondly, your glasses card is sooooooooo clever! I love the nagnification beneath the lenses. Brilliant!I just love it. The tree is so great too! I really love your work.
ReplyDeleteI think your rain dance worked Jenny - it's tippng it down in Buckingham today! Love your glasses card and for an optometrist too - what are you like?!!! And that tree die is very cool. Next you'll be telling me that card's for a tree surgeon! Have a lovely weekend. Vx

These are both awesome! Love the leaves on the Nestie tree and the stripes in the background. We need rain here too so let me know if that rain dance works for you and I'll try it here! :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the cards. The glasses...very clever. Love the tree and the clouds...the whole thing. Fab job!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are so creative, Jenny! I love the magnifying idea on the glasses and the sheltering tree is on my wish list. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy!! Didn't realise how far behind I was in my blog surfing.
