LIM171, OLS#5 and STAMPlorations


Hello everyone and happy Tuesday! I hope your having a good day.

I'd like to show you  a card I made today using stamps and distress inks to create a watercolour effect by scribbling with distress markers and pressing distress ink pads onto an acrylic block, misting lightly with water and then inking the stamps from there. 

I began by stamping the pots and used a brush and water to spread the colour. The leaves were stamped next and then the flowers. The flowers are a two part stamp which makes it easier to achieve a watercolour.effect.

Would like to link uip to a few challenges. at Less Is More it's One Layer Thank You card, One Layer Simplicity Challenge would like to see cards with flowers and STAMPlorations May challenge: Stamps and Flowers.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comments which are so appreciated!  Have a great rest of the day. xxx

Flowers


Hi everyone, hope all is well with you. Would like to show you a card I've made for a few challenges. I stamped the flowers in black Memories Ink and coloured with Promarkers.

Inspiration for layout taken from Vicki's Muse #66 card, theme and colours from ColourQ #240, Inkspirational #55 - Pink and Green and STAMPlorations - May challenge: Stamps and Flowers.

This is actually "mark 2" of the card. The first one had some twine and a different sentiment, however after DH told me the sentiment (which was placed just above the flowers) looked like a "weird spiders web" I decided I had to redo it! I have to admit I do struggle with getting a sentiment in the right place so I hope this looks OK.

Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day xx

CAS-ology week 71, ColourQ#216 and STAMPlorations


Hello everyone, here's something I made for a few challenges. 

CAS-ology, where the theme this week is BELLS and ColourQ. The layout was based on last week's CAS(E) This Sketch but was I was too late to enter. Also for STAMPlorations November challenge - Stamps and Sequins.

I initially stamped the sentiment in a colour but then decided it looks better in black?! I don't have SU! More Mustard so substituted Summer Starfruit. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to look.
