Furry friends

A beautiful sunny day today, and I spent all afternoon ..... hemming my kitchen curtains :(  Its a job that's been bugging me for, oooh, maybe 5 years and today was their big day!  Hurrah for me ;)

I managed to squeeze in a couple of quickie cards too.  My first one uses an oldie High Hopes bunny and some of my rediscovered flower soft.  I don't think I've ever used the heather coloured stuff before.
Bunny coloured with watercolour pencils and Spectrum Noir sparkle added to the tulips.  I was a bit stumped by the sketch as I couldn't find a thank you sentiment to fit, so I used just a peel off and stuck it over all 3 layers. Taylored Expressions DP.



    I always seem to lack some masculine birthday cards in my stash, so I've used one of my Katzelkraft dogs for this one.  I heat embossed my dog and the sentiment.  Background watercoloured.

      Sounds like you have had an industrious day Lynne and two fab cards to show for it. Love both these stamps. You'll be so glad you sorted those curtains too! xx

      Wow, you accomplished a lot in a single day! It always feels good to get some of those pesky jobs done. My mending pile keeps getting higher and higher! You made two super cards today. I especially like the second one with the dog. He looks like a slap-happy kind of dog. )
