"The Punter"

I made this card for my husbands friend who is a "punter"  loving the horse races, I used a race form to copy for the background and used Tim Holtz clock that my friend Meg cut out for me, and I used the
Tim Holtz stamp for the "umbrella Man" and the birds on the wire, I stamped the sentiment from a Fiskars stamp that I have had for a long time and used the Couture nested dies for the background to the stamp. I used the silver coin and key from my stash.    I just hope he likes it.

cards with Prima Donna Petals


Here are two cards that I made with flower dies (die-namic) that I bought from The Papercraft Hub in Calwell, ACT, they are fantastic people and I cannot recommend them too highly.   These dies are Prima Donna Petals, I also used Couture Nesting dies and Spellbinders Butterflies. The background on the first one is from a 6 x 6 pad from Papermania and the black and white background is from a 6  x 6 pad from Kaisercraft Black and White Timeless,

Here is the card with an adjustment on it, ie: a cream slip of paper with gold spots on it,on the right hand side.   I wasn't completely happy with the original, but think this one is ok, and I am sure my young rellie will like it.
