Hi there...
I bet you thought you'd never see me playing with the Gull stamps again (MFT)... I had a blast when I first got them. Since then I've had a real purge of my craft stuff, but the gulls are definitely still one of 'My Favourite Things'
They came in handy for the birthday card I'm sharing today... As you may remember, we lost 2 of our Cornish cousins last year (brother and sister) but we still have Peter, the baby of the family and he's about to celebrate his 60th birthday.
As he happens to be captain of the ship sailing between Cornwall and the Scilly Isles, the gull seemed the most appropriate
The frames aren't wonky - It's actually a window card (acetate free)
I like making this style and I'm sure he will love it
How are you all doing? Heck the weather is crazy, from sunshine to snow. Stay well and safe and have a great day
Till soon

Those MFT gulls are one of my favorite sets too Ros! Love the window frame you made for this one...frames that sweet little guy just perfectly!! Love the addition of the balloons and "60" too...this will definitely bring a smile to your cousins face!! Hugs. :0)
Love, love, love this! Such a fun image and layout, Ros!
What a cute seagull image and background scene Ros and love the framed window through to the inside of the card with that super sentiment. Unfortunately gulls have been know to pinch much more than just one chip..lol. I love the ballons and a great sentiment and number to finish. How interesting that he skippers the Cornwall to Scilly Isles ship. x
your gull is so sweet and what a great birthday card ♥
What a fun card, great design and so very thoughtful and I love it. Great job he has and yes the weather has been crazy our end too Ros x.
OMG how fun to see Mr. Gull again! I'm sure your cousin will LOVE receiving this VERY special birthday card! LOVE your design ... you're so dang clever (will have to keep this style in mind).
Weather here in Ohio has been GLORIOUS this week (upper 70s / low 80s) more like summer temps vs Spring but I'll take em! LOL We got lots done outside each afternoon but now there's a cold front coming in so we'll be back to more normal (50s-60s) this coming week with rain. But my mower is all maintained and ready for the season and I actually mowed the lawn on Tuesday so 'bring on the rain!' LOL
Wishing you a FABULOUS weekend ahead and thanks once again for ALWAYS inspiring me. I just love visiting your blog! HUGS from OHIO, USA
Oh what fun cards, sounds perfect for him! I need to 'purge' my craft room, seems instead I just keep adding to it lol!
Ros, these gulls are going nowhere and remain on my own favorites list!
LOve your gull giving his wonderful birthday speech! Bet your cousin will love him, too!

Oh, I do like those gulls! I need to use them, so fun and cute! Love the window design of your card! Beautiful balloons, numbers, and awesome sentiment! Your cousin will love the wonderful gull card, Ros! Everything is blooming here. It is great getting out in the sunshine and walking the dog! Take care, hugs!!
Such a clever window card design for your special cousin. He will LOVE your Gull too, which is perfect for his special 60th birthday card. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
Absolutely fabulous 60th card Ros..I bet it was well received.xx
What a lovely window card, Ros! You colored the gull cute, and made a perfect scene.
The shiny balloon and the numbers are beautiful and festive! Peter will love this card!

I always loved these gulls and glad you saved them. This very fun and cute card is perfect for your seafaring cousin. We've had snow in April before, but this year it's mostly sunshine with a chilly breeze. It's making the leaves and flowers come out from hiding!
I love these gulls Ros, they just make me smile, so whimsical! I'm sure Peter will love this. They make for a fun masculine card. Love your distant hills/ mountains lightly sponged and your complete layout, such a cool window card! Weather has been beautiful here this past week, lost of sunshine a day or so of rain, but temperatures in the 60' & 70's. This coming week back down to low 50's with a bit of rain and sunshine mix for the week. I've been doing lots of yardwork this weekend. Thanks for sharing Ros, love when you create!
No snow here--early summer! Come on over, Ros! The perfect card for your cousin, the captain!
What a fun card! And great to see the seagulls are back.
