Morning all,

Hope your weekend was a good one! So, I've recently been inking up my All In The Family stamp set that has been previously much neglected. I teamed this up with Choo Choo stamp set for a very subtle background effect of trains and puffs of smoke which I think works well for boy cards :)

Happy Friday!

Hi all,

Hope you've had a good week and looking forward to the weekend :)

Wanted to use my much neglected "All In The Family" stamp set and after having a look online I was inspired by cutiepiecards, so decided to CASE this.

I decided to add a tree in the background using another neglected stamp set from the Mini Catalogue called "Forest Friends" with my Stampin' Write Markers. I also made some grass by snipping the Certainly Celery cardstock vertically and added matching Certainly Celery poly-twill ribbbon (the ribbon that's offered in my Blog Candy). Lastly used my new "Choo Choo" stamp set to add some clouds to the card with 3D Dimensionals.

Here's the finished card:



Stamps: All In The Family, Forest Friends and Choo Choo.
Cardstock: Ballet Blue, Real Red, Whisper White and Certainly Celery.
Ink Pad: Basic Grey and Bashful Blue.
Accessories: Stampin' Write Markers - Chocolate Chip, Garden Green, Blush Blossom and Ballet Blue. Certainly Celery Poly-Twill Ribbon. Large Tag Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, 3D Dimensionals and Bone Folder.
Card Size: A6.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Please feel free to leave me a comment if you have time.

Have a great weekend and be back later tomorrow to reveal my Workshop cards.

Bye for now,

Alex
