Scrap time!

 

Hi everyone.

After watching a video from Natasha Foote (a fellow kiwi), I thought I would have a go!

I sponged the edges of the base card with distress ink (dusty concord) before adding my top layer

The stamp is by Woodware

Best Wishes

 

Hello again, second post today

I have used one of my 'experiment' backgrounds, made with Brushos on a heavy watercolour card.

The stamp is 'constellation' by Penny Black, embossed in white detail EP and highlighted with a white Sharpie paint pen.

A gold thread is wound around, sentiment layered on mounting tape, and all adhered to an orange toning card base

Hello all

Edged with gold and layered onto a piece of embossed DP and then onto a mauve card base.Attached a recycled tag with a gold diamante

I'm Back!

 

After such a long absence, I have managed to make a few cards.We have had a number of health problems recently, particularly with my OH, but he is slowly on the mend now, but still quite weak.

I found this image in my stash, as I was doing some tidying, and decided to make it into a card. I coloured the hedgie and flowers with copics and promarkers and also added some WOS to the flowers so that they are really sparkly, but of course the pic does not show this! I attached to a red card base to tone with the flowers.

New Arrival

 

A CAS card today to enter into a few challenges.

I have used the sketch from MFT for my design, and found a pretty textured scrap of pink card to use for the background. I trimmed the top with a SU scallop punch, and adhered it on an angle. I stamped the wee bunny and the sentiment on a scrap of white (Inkadoo - baby love)

I then coloured with Promarkers, rose pink for the pink dots and silver lining for the bunny.

Harmony

 

A quick post today, as the challenge #632 at MFT closes tomorrow. I have used a stamp by Chocolate Baroque for the tree and sentiment and followed the sketch from there and the inspiration is from Inspiration Station, where I was inspired by the trees in the example

I printed the sentiment using 'Amalfi Coast' font

The crocus is coloured with Promarkers, herb green, tea green, pastel green, marine, lemon, and outlined withsilver lining.
