Another Stamposaurus sample.......

Morning Everyone,

Today I have another sample I made for Jayne at Stamposaurus to show you......

When I saw this mini stamp that Jayne had sent I just thought of the sixties,I have also used another stamp set Retro flowers....The paper was a sheet I have had for ages but it doesn't have    a name on...I've coloured with promarkers again,the colours used were.......

cerise,lime green,canary sunflower,cyan,plum,amethyst 

The flower ribbon around the edge I got on holiday last year and all of the gems are from my stash...Something completely different for me,let me know what you think....

I have used Denzil with rose,coloured with Promarkers,but I coloured him a little while ago and can't find the note with the colours on sorry.....The papers are First Edition Hideaway,the orange card is from my stash....

The flowers have punched with my Woodware daisy punches and a gem put in the center.....The green border has been punched with an EK success punch and the ribbon is from my stash...The sentiment I stamped out the letters and then cut them out....Take care...

Humphrey Sneek Peek 8.........

Morning Everyone,

Well there's only a few more hours until Humphrey makes his Television debut tonight at 9pm on Ideal world...I think he's going to be a big hit with everyone....

Here is peek number 8......

I decided to make a envelobox gift full of small cards,so I used my envelobox board and made it to 1.5" deep .....Then I printed some beautiful red gingham paper from the CD for the front,printed a page of toppers and used 3 for the front matted onto three scalloped circles cut with my nesties.....Added 4 buttons and a sentiment....

I used one of the sentiments from the sheet as a way of closing the flap...

Here are tw of the cards very clean and simple which is not my usual style but the toppers are so lovely I didn't need anything else.....

I made 12 cards in total and it's such an easy lovely gift to give....I must apologise for the pictures but they were taken when Hubby had borrowed my camera and I just couldn't get it to do what I wanted,but normal service has been resumed now....I hope you get the idea even though they are not very good....

So don't forget to tune in tonight for the launch show 9pm Ideal world...

Have a lovely day everyone....See you tomorrow....
