Black and White

My posting is just like the buses, never see one and then two come at once!!! Here is another of my found stamps. It is matted onto mirror card which has come up black.

Edu-CAT-ed

Had this stamp for ages and found it whilst having a clear out. When it comes to cats just have to buy, got quite a collection now.

Wedding Anniversary

This was my original idea for using the verse as a feature, somehow got sidetracked on the other one. I think this one is the best out of the two.

Wedding Anniversary

Decided to try something different and use the verse on the outside for a change. Then went on to try out my new scanner and then progressed to see if I could get it on my blog. My how things have changed since last posting, so this is trial and error on many levels.

Following on the banner theme.

Had this stamp a while and wasn't sure what to do with it, after masking and stamping, sprayed it with silver glitter and used a fine liner pen round the outside.
Nestie flower and greeting has 3D gloss over it.

New Year, New Start


Decided that 2012 I would try and change the way I use this blog. Previously it was for my reference when someone wanted a particular card then show them ideas. Now hopefully when inspirations strikes and something I'm pleased with gels then I will post it here.

Todays is a stamped banner using masking technique that took my fancy. Must admit that stamping does not flow for me, but was happy with final result, (maybe could have been a bit more vibrant?).

Comments very welcome.

Thanks for looking Helen

Add caption
Roses shaped card which has a small box inside to write message.
This has a matching insert; 'Anniversary wishes to a special couple'.

This is it for Christmas 2010

 Only managed to do one more stamped card, this one featuring Clarity corners and PaperArtsy.
 This has glitter on all the white areas, does not show up with scanning.
Got to grips with Martha Stewart round the page punches for this.
