Dusting off the Cameo

It's been a long week this week and I thought the weekend would never arrive but it's here and I have two whole days off.

Had a lovely atc from Turlemoon from the Docraft forum this week though which really made my day (thank you very much). This is going to become part of another large picture I am putting together to go with three others I made up a few years ago.

I had to make a quick birthday card for a male colleague who is 30 tomorrow so I dusted off the Cameo to make a quick background, added a digital image coloured with Promarkers and added the sentiment. I cut the numbers out of the backing paper and mounted this onto blue card and then onto brown card.

If anyone would like the cutting file for this card just click on my free downloads tab x


Rather than throw away the numbers I decided to stick them inside the card on a plain white insert:


And just to finish off this post, look at who visited me a couple of days ago. Its lovely to see the wildlife starting to visit the gardens now that the building work has moved further away from us. This is at the front of my house and we have a long line of these berry bushes.

  2. Great card and such a sweet photo of the bird. I was gardening today and my husband pointed out deer tracks on our borders. Now, do I want the Spring flowers or do I want lovely deer in the garden?

  15. What a quirky card! I love it and I bet the recipient will too. I love it when you can use the bits of waste off a card to add some interest, like you did with the cut out numbers x
