Fennel Seed Head Card
I am often asked for cards for men and it is always difficult to come up with anything for them. So much of the stuff in the shops is covered with beer mugs that I decided to go for something refreshing and natural. Flowers are out for most men but seeds and weeds seem to be fine. This is what you get in this card.
What you will need:
Fennel Seed Head from Stampinback
Pieces of waste card from when you've been learning to use a brayer
or some nice paper
Stazon in Stone Grey
Sentiment stamp from I Brake for Stamps
Light duck egg blue ribbon from Craft Fairy
Toning background paper for the base of the card
Happy crafting

Stained Glass window card
I wanted to be the first to enter. I really get a kick out of that. So silly, I know but indulge me.
Now, don't be fooled into thinking that I've put on any stitching. It's dots made with the pen. Quick and simple. Makes up for the age that I took to colour in the stamped image.
I know that you are going to want to buy it immediately so go to Craft Fairy now to get it. It's the beautiful Stained Glass Flower stamp.

Going Dotty with Dottariffics
Two Hydrangea and a Lovely Message
To make it:
Coloured the hydrangea stamps with the Art and Graphic Pens from Kuretake and stamp it twice, colouring up between stamping. Use the H2O water brush to move the paint a little and added some extra colour where the shadows should be.
Cut the images out and then get on with the rest of the card.
Cut a base card 10.5cm x 28cm. Score this at the 14cm point to make a card 10.5cm x 14cm when folded.
I cut a piece of pink card and scored it and then cut it to fit over the join in the base card.
I stamped the message, which is from the Inspirational sayings plate, on a piece of card and cut it out to leavea a small border. I mounted this on to a piece of pink card. This was then stuck to the base card.
I stuck the hydrangea images slightly overlapping on to the card with a mixture of adhesive and foam pade. The adhesive was for the bottom hydrangea and the foam pads for the upper image.
I decorated the lower part of the card with a broken line of green. One of the greens that I had used on the stamp.

All in Pink
9mm pink ribbon ribbon with white spots
Pink bloom
The image comes from the Glamour Girls sheet once again and the background has also been produced with a stamp from the same sheet. So does the cute little sentiment 'Divine' at the bottom of the card. The ribbon is a 7mm wine grosgrain that can be found on the Craft Fairy site by clicking here.
Thanks for looking and, if you like anything that you see, please leave a comment.

To make this card you will need:
The Kids sheet of unmounted stamps from The Merry Stamper
9mm Swiss dot ribbon in hot pink
Pink blooms
TuT pens from Kuretake to colour the image
Crayon Kid Alphabet Rubber Stamps
Pink buttons
White and pink card
Most of the working for this card is fairly self evident. The printing of the word 'Julia' needs a little explanation.
Stick the letters to the mounting block, remembering to put them on in reverse order, otherwise the word will be the wrong way around when you print it. I didn't put the letters in a straight line as I believe that the harder you try to get perfection the harder it is to attain it.
Colour each letter with the TuT pens and vary the pinks to get a more interesting word. Print randomly over the base of the card as seen.
