A Christmas card...

You are my sunshine
The theme at Sweet Stampin' for this fortnight is very apt- You are my sunshine, so use at least one stamp, follow the theme and you're all set to join in!
A lot of my card is hand drawn, the circle for the sun and the doodled rays and lettering around the edges, some of the patterns between the rays using an orange glitter pen. I used stamps for the sentiment, masked off some sections and stamped the rest of the patterns in orange. The yellow background is coloured with pencils.
Thanks for visiting, have a great weekend and stay safe in the sun!

65th Wedding Anniversary
The theme is Graduation OR Anniversary, chosen by Buffy.
I made this card for my dear friends' 65th Wedding Anniversary, which is Sapphire - so is 45th Anniversary so a bit confusing! Anyway went with blue and white and added some bling to the stamped, embossed numerals. I cut out the numbers and popped them up on foam for a little dimension. the stamped, embossed sentiment banner was treated the same way. The numerals are part of a clear stamp set- Rufus Rabbit Decorates, they are pretty large the card base is 7 x 7 inches.
There's more inspiration from my teamies at Fab'n'Funky Challenge blog, and of course we'd love to see what you can create for this challenge
Thanks for visiting

Coffee...or wine
I started with a lightly smooshed base- the card is glossier than I'm used to so a bit tricky to stamp on. The sentiment and images are from a set I won some years ago from Newton's Nook. Sentiment, wine glass and coffee beans stamped directly on to card, the cup and grapes stamped onto card scrap coloured and cut out. A little stencilling using A&C stencil (my new favourite) and a doodled border.
Thanks for looking!
