Rockin' & Rollin Garden Whimsy

I'm pretty sure that's the name of the technique I've used to make this card:


Firstly, you ink the stamp with the lighter colour, then you roll the edges of the stamp in the darker colour. I've used my newly aqcuired Regal Rose and Basic Grey that arrived this morning.

Stamp sets used: Garden Whimsy, So Many Sayings, Polkadot.

Other: Window punch, Grey tafetta ribbon, half ribbons.

Thanks for visiting!

Our 2008 Christmas Card

After um-ing and ahh-ing about whether to make our Christmas cards or ot this year, I finally just bit the bullet, got the photos developed, and made them - well twenty of them. Some hand written ones snuck in there too. Anyway, here they are....

Not much stamping on them - just the Polkadot background. The colours used were Sahara Sand and Real Red. I printed the little messages on my computer, punched them out with the small oval punch and mounted them onto large punched out ovals. The flowers are non-SU flowers that I had in my stash. I didn't have enough red flowers to make all the cards with so I used white ones on some cards. One regret - I should have printed the year on them. Oh, well.
If you received one, let me know what you think.
Bye for now.

Always Time For You

Another card using a set from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalogue. This time, Always Time For You.

I used black pigment ink to stamp onto watercolour paper, then heat embossed with clear powder and coloured with watercolour pencils using Blender Pens. You like?

Ocean Commotion

Another card using the new Ocean Commotion set from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalogue. This time I embossed the seaweed and the fish by firstly stamping onto Versamark ink, then stamping straight onto the coloured Classic Ink Pad, and embossing with clear powder.
