Happy Birthday Dad!

My father-in-law loves trains. He even has a garden railroad in his backyard. As soon as I saw the set Happiness is a Journey when it came out in the catalogue last August I knew I had to get it to make cards for him. However it did take me six months of having this set in my hands to actually make a card for him. His birthday was in February and I knew what set I was definitely going to use. This is the card I gave to him. He loved it.

This card was cased from craftybb at SCS.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: Happiness is a Journey
Ink: Whisper White, Basic Gray
Cardstock: Basic Gray, Really Rust, Not Quite Navy, Mellow Moss, Whisper White, Maine Blueberry DS Paper
Accessories: Mellow Moss Taffeta Ribbon, Round Tab Punch, Black Brads, White Embossing Powder

Watercolor Class

I can't believe it has been a month since I last posted so much for my goal of posting at least once every couple of weeks. I have been really busy over the last month making lots of cards, so I do have stuff to show you, I just need to make the time to actually sit down and get them posted. At the beginning of this month I held a class on Watercolouring with Blender Pens. It was so much fun. These are the cards we created:
