Black and white

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.

Today's card features 2 stamps from a Kanban set, which doesn't have a name!

I stamped with Versamark and embossed with detail white ep. The sentiment is from another set which has lost it's name. I added a little detail with a blue Gellyroll pen. Men's cards are hard to do, but I thought this one would suit the purpose

Hi everyone. 

I was up very early this morning so decided to make a card for the 

Sum More Fun challenge which closes tomorrow.

I used the sketch from Less is More, and die cut my circles from some lovely DP and edged them in spun sugar DI

Birthday wishes

Hi everyone.

Today's card features a scribby birds stamp by Dina Wakley. I love these cute birds and have not used them often enough. This one is coloured with Promarkers - Y247,  R766,  R555,  and R244.

I stamped onto my background paper, and again onto a separate scrap, using my Misti to get a good coverage. I tore out the paper, distressed the edges a bit more and layered it onto the card base. The birthday wishes is a peeloff which I recoloured black with a sharpie. It is raised on mounting tape.

SumMoreFun's mood board

I love the colours in this MB and have focussed on the blue, green, mauve and black.

 I dabbed the colours (Brilliance) onto my stamp, and after stamping, I trimmed, distressed and edged with black soot DI

I used Dox's on a scrap and then stamped with my very old dragonfly stamp, fussy cut and inked the edges.

Hi everyone, It seems such a long time since I have had a card to blog, but when I saw the kraft challenge at Paper Artsy, I knew I had to CASE Chrissie Stokes card.

I have stamped my SU swallowtail stamp in brown and embossed with clear ep. I used 2 shades of coloured pencils to colour with, the black splotches are from a Paper Artsy set, and the white dots are done with white enamel. I added a tag with a twine tie on it.

Black and White

Hi everyone.

I managed to find time today to make this card, especially for this weeks challenge at Allsorts

The topic is black and white, and only gold, silver, or skin tones added.

I needed a sympathy card so used my Darkroom Door orchids and a very old word stamp from R & R Pocock (dated 1996) The ink is Memento Tuxedo Black, and I used my Misti to get a good coverage. I added a little touch of Wink of Stella gold to the centres of the flowers

Nautical

Hi everyone.

Today's card features my new die  from Serendipity. I cut it twice, once in red and once in white, so that I could inlay the stripes. For the background, I sponged on various DI's and used stamps from SU Wetlands set, and also a Stampers Anonymous set.
