Celebrate card (The Stamping Chef image)

Hi everyone,

Here is my last card for today, hope you've enjoyed seeing all 3 of them. I have to make a couple of male cards this weekend so they may be next on my blog.

This card was created using a sassy girl from The Stamping Chef. I love how her hair flows, it's really easy to colour. For a change I went around her with a mustard coloured copic rather than my usual blues. 

I have used a Jasmine puffy flourish (orange) and Antique Brown rhinestones from my company, Flourish with a Bling, who are having a 50% off sale this month, see below for more details or click on our business name to be taken to the website.

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout August, everything is half off!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage! If you're order is over $200AUD we will pay half the shipping (international orders).

My Dad's 70th Birthday card

Hi everyone,

I am sure you will all agree that I am the worst daughter in the whole wide world, I forgot to send my lovely father a 70th Birthday card on time (he's holidaying over the other side of the world at the moment). I'm not even a couple of days late, I'm a whole month and a half late!! Whoops!! I am really hoping he forgives me when he sees the effort that went into making this card for him.

This was created with a larger sized card so I had plenty of room for all my little sentiments which were printed in different fonts from my computer. I did a lot of inking around everything to give it an aged look, hope you like it, I know it is very different from my usual style.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Scrapbook Boutique - Photo inspiration - inspired by the colours
Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - J is for ... Just a little bit late (hehe), "July" card for "June" Birthday  
Simon Says Stamp (Wed) - Emboss it (cogs and pocket watch are heat embossed)

Thank you so much for dropping by and extra special thanks to my lovely followers and visitors that leave some beautiful comments for me, they warm my heart.
