Happy Sundae Fluffers!
The Doc and Mrs A are visiting this weekend. Weather permitting, we're going over to the (Blue Lolly) Park. There's a Fire Engine Display thing on, which Sweet Cheeks will certainly luuurve. We saw a Fire Engine the other week and Sweet Cheeks stood next to it, rooted to the pavement in awe. The rather nice Fireman (Total Man Candy) behind the wheel asked me if I wanted him to flash the lights for us. Did I mention Eye Candy? My Blood Pressure certainly went up and I was in need of being extinguished myself! We were both smiling when we eventually walked away! ;)

I love the sea, so really enjoyed making this card with a not yet released stamp from Rainbow Studios. I'm lucky enough to have a few of these, so watch out for more Sea Inspired cards in the next few posts!
I may have smuggled some new Perfect Pearls Mists through Baggage Control this week. I really wanted to squirt this image with some, to look like sea spray, but was a little nervous about doing it. There are certain things that you can add to a card and if it goes wrong, that's it, Game Over. Stitching, Staples (that said, you wouldn't know there are dodgy staples on last Mondays Cupcake card, because I was able to cover it with a red triangle design feature!) and Squirty Sprays to name a few. So I was holding my breath a little when I eventually got the guts to possibly ruin an image. Thankfully, it worked and Perfect Pearls also washes off kitchen worktops...
Right, I'm off to make myself look like a Yummy Mummy in preparation for our visit to the Park. I need film star make up on my nose to disguise the 'I've been blowing it for days red'.

stunning card faye.love the fab image and shells and the sparkle spray looks great.
ReplyDeleteoh lucky you with the firemen, the ones in our town aren`t really eye candy cos i went to school with most of them ,lol :D
xx coops xx
Hi Faye, Your card is beautiful and I just love that you braved the perfect pearls. I've done that before and had the same dread fear of ruining all. Hope you enjoyed your visit to the Park, maybe you need to wear a blindfold in the presence of firemen :) keeleyxx
ReplyDeleteOooh, what a fabby card - love the "sea spray" - it's perfect. I know what you mean about the sprays - I usually blob it and just have to live with it. :)
ReplyDeleteHope your trip to the park was appealing and fun! Can't wait to hear how it went....
Cheers,
Shanna :)
Wow Faye!!! Love the jute and gorgeous shells!! Wishing you had a shot of sweet cheeks and the fireman candy to share ;)
ReplyDeleteThis one wasn't up on the mantleshelf for me to see!!!!! xxxMuver.
ReplyDeletep.s. made best 3 with my card.
Oh Faye, you have me giggling everytime I read your posts! Sounds like you and sweet cheeks had some pretty sweet eye candy :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about mistakes on a card you can't undo.....I worry about that all the time too & it's frustrating when you try something after all that colouring & you can't fix it. Your card worked out perfectly & I love the shape of this easel card with the image all popped up. Fabulous shells and send too!
Beautiful card! love the seashells ;)
ReplyDeleteToo bad this stamp hasn't been released yet: my sister got her proposal on saturday in a lightning house!!! We've heard it yesterday and I am sooooooo happy for her!! She's deserved it and her hubby 2b is the best, except for my hubby of course :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to make them a card like this..
Yours is great (again,lol) and I love the shells!!
Hugs Alie
Oh my goodness girl.....This is AMAZING!!! Love the seashells!!!!
ReplyDeletewow wow wow Faye this is gorgeous love the lighthouse image and the little shells are a perfect touch hugs Jill xx
ReplyDeleteHey you:-)! Sorry I am sooooo late... but your card is absolutely gorgeous! I love this unreleased image (I am jealous here LOL), and you have coloured it (and sprayed it) beautifully! Congratulations on your courage, I never try new things directly on my card:-)... And the shells are brilliant! I hope you had a nice weekend, obviously very busy to say the least! BIG hugs Delphine xx
ReplyDeletethis is a lovely card.. love the seahells and the summery colors.. just one question though.. how would you send a card like this.. i love to make these, but just not really sure how to send it..-anne-
ReplyDeleteThis is just stunning. We both adore this card. Although it's more like a piece of art work you'd keep. The way you have made this up, with the shells etc is amazing, and the painting is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe misting - perfect!
Thank you
Rachel and Angela
