The One Before The Last One

This one just needed the right occasion with a sentiment before I'd made the last baby card for my friend. I realized it'd be my dad's nameday next week, so I cut a piece of black cardstock, loaded into my old Dymo (as seen on Tim Holtz's blog) and then painted the letters with a white gel pen (unfortunately, my black cardstock wasn't white cored). The tree was cut with my Silhouette, the background watercoloured and accented with matching enamel dots. I tried to achieve here some sort of ombre effect.

Update: I forgot to link this up to the challenge I wanted to (baby brain...) since creating watercolour background is currently my fave technique - it's quick and easy. So the challenge is: Simon Says Stamp - Use Your Favourite Technique / Product

Quick round-up

From the cards I didn't manage to send out this year due to a long-lasting cold.

Banners Birthday Card

I could use my cute enamel dots finally. The sentiment part was quite hard to come up with.

Challenge: SSS - Anything Goes

Keep Calm and Drum On

When I got my Happy Father's Day set from Lawn Fawn I wanted to try out the armchair stamp in the first place. Then I fussy cut it and it was laying around on my desk for weeks. I knew it'd become handy soon because quite a few birthdays were around the corner to which I was not supposed to give girly cards. :) So I kept it simple and masculine just as the latest challenge of Addicted to CAS requires it.

This one goes to one of my colleagues in April. He's a father of three, he's always there for his family, for us and keeps working every single night. Above all of that he plays the drums in a folk band... and he keeps drumming on his chair behind me at work, too. :))

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Supplies: Neenah - Desert Storm and Solar White cardstock, Lawn Fawn - Happy Father's Day stamp set, HA - Cup O' Joe Dye ink, Simon Says Stamp - Music To My Ears stamps set, Dymo label maker, Memento Tuxedo Black

Winter Blue II

The sentiment was made with D's pretty old-school Dymo. I so wanted to have one as a child. :) The snowflakes were stamped with the same ink multiple times. Really easy and flat card, just perfect for mailing.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges again:

CFC79 - Winter Blues 

ATCAS#1 - Codeword: Snow 

--- 

A feliratot ezúttal D apukájának régi Dymojával nyomkodtam (tudjátok, amivel régen a postaláda-feliratokat készítették :D hogy vágytam egy ilyenre!), a háttér pedig ugyanazzal a nyomdapárnával készült, többször rányomva a hópelyheket.

(The sentiment is straight. The photo is not. :))
