Hi there. I have a card to share – quite a CAS card – made with a dear friend of mine in mind:



I have seen this particular friend just once since March – and so I am hoping we can get together again soon for a catch-up – and maybe one day we can hug again!
The stamp set I used is from Heffy Doodle – You Go, Gull – and I first stamped the tree stump in Stampin Up ‘Terracotta Tile‘ ink – then used a water-brush to pull the colour out a little.
I then stamped the birds in Gina K amalgam ink and coloured the grey areas with Copic cool greys, and used the same Stampin Up ink and a little water to colour the beak, legs, and wing detail.
The base card is three and a half inches by eight and a half inches, and the black layer and white window layer are cut using Heffy Doodle ‘Stitched Slimline Trio‘ die set. I love the scallops on the windows. And I have three scalloped squares to use on another card now…….
The sentiment is from the same stamp set, heat embossed in white – though I did have to go over the letters with a white gel pen as it didn’t quite emboss fully.
The hearts are cut from a piece of card I coloured with the same ‘Terracotta Tile‘ ink.
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Color Throwdown – black, white, terracotta
Water-Cooler Challenges – anything goes
Freshly Made Sketches – slimline sketch
Krafty Chicks – anything goes




Lovely and I love those dies x
