Today is the day of firsts! First day of the month, first of my changes for my Blog, and the first contribution to my Blog! I have invited Jackie to be my Guest Blogger and here is her lovely card;
Jackie writes "I have been attending Helen's classes for some time now and I am well and truly hooked!
It was my father's birthday recently so I needed a card suitable for an elderly gentleman (sorry dad but you are 84!) I came up with this design with which I was pleased and so was he. It uses the pheasant stamp from the "Autumn Days" set. I coloured the stamp with marker pens then stamped it onto "Very Vanilla" cardstock. "Chocolate Chip" cardstock was used to mount this and also to make a scalloped square using the scallop edge punch.
The paper was from the "To the Nines" speciality designer pack and the ribbon was also "Chocolate Chip". The pieces were mounted as shown onto a base card of "Sage Shadow". The sentiment is from my much used "Sincere Salutations" set.
I haven't tried it yet but I reckon the other stamps in the "Autumn Days" set would make lovely Christmas wreaths. All in all, a very useful and versatile set."
Recipe:
Stamp Sets - Autumn Days; Sincere Salutations
Card Stock - Sage Shadow; Chocolate Chip; Very Vanilla
Ribbon - Chocolate Chip 5/8ths and 1/4 inch Grosgrain.
Paper - To the Nines.

Oh wow, well done Jackie! Absolutely gorgeous card. I always find it difficult to make male cards and yours is a stunner.
