I have now spent some more time getting to grips with the new PhotoBucket editing programme & made it work - Whoop! Whoop! I shall start sharing them with you...
So, first off, the card I made for my FIL's birthday this year. I reckon hubby was trying to catch me out cos he didn't give me any clues as to what the card should be like & the night before I was about to just make my own design when hubby suddenly says "Have you got any lawn mowers?" Turns out that the joint pressie from him & his twin was money towards getting their dad's lawn mower fixed. But you can't catch me out that easily LOL I dug about in my peel off box (well, one of them!) & found a sheet of garden themed peel offs, which enabled me to come up with this 8x8 card:
I die cut some squares (Spellbinders nesties) & used the peel off as a mask to ink over with Distress Ink ink Bundled Sage & Tea Dye (I think it was Tea Dye, it was a couple of months back). I also ran a couple through an Tim Holtz embossing folder (Artful Muse Texture Fades triple set)
The back ground was again inked with Bundled Sage & Tea Dye then I repeat stamped using a Papermania clear 'Dad' stamp & a little 'Happy Birthday' wood mounted stamp (that I've had for years & can't remember the manufacturer). I was rather pleased with the finished card & hubby was suitably impressed that I managed to follow his brief LOL. I have no idea what FIL thought...I did make a Grandad card from the kids at the same time, using strips of acetate & stuff, but it was a bit pants, so I didn't want a pic!
