A Birthday & Anniversary…..

Published by Makeesha at 1:31 am under Cards

Hello people!

WOW Friday already? Seriously where is this year going? I can hardly believe that next week it will be April! The shops are full of Hot cross buns, and easter eggs! I have been enjoying both immensely already *wink*

So this week I had big plans to stamp and whilst i didn’t get much time at my stamping desk, i did manage to whip up a birthday card for my son Elijah who turned 10 yesterday, and my parents who also celebrated their 38th Wedding anniversary on the same day.

Here is Elijah’s card, which he loved because he is a keen lil fisherman….

I have used the Fisher fella stamp from Stampingbella and coloured it with my Copic markers. The DSP is the new Fine and Dandy paper pad from My minds eye. The number ten I created with my PTI stamp set called Outline Alphabet. I have used this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch to pop this card together. Elijah had a great day and I can hardly believe he it 10 already!

Now for the Anniversary card….

First up I must tell you my folks are not this old! Only in their 50’s but i love this Mo Manning image, and just had to use it! I have used Not quite navy and Very vanilla cardstock along with some My Mind’s eye dsp. Again the image has been coloured with my Copic markers. The greeting is from my PTI stamp set called Damask designs. I have used my sewing machine for some stitching and the ribbon is Ocean tides grosgrain ribbon from PTI. I have used this weeks Cards Patterns sketch to whip this card up….

Thanks for stopping by!

Love Keesh

    Hi Keesh,
    Fab cards. I love them both. Gorgeous papers and great colouring. I’m seeing a few people using the Fina and Dandy papers, so cute.

    Is there any chance that you would consider stamping the fisherman and sending it to me? I would pay for supplies and postage. My cousin’s son’s b’day is in April and he loves to fish. I would beyond appreciate it.

    Love your cards Keesh, but that Mo Manning image is gorgeous isn’t it! I have one coloured in my pile of coloured sketches to send to my sister who keeps telling me her and her partner are tunring into oldies. Of course now you have coloured it I’m not sure I’m game to show mine in public, lol. Stay well and happy birthday Elijah!
