Ring in the New But Don't Throw Out the Old

Here is one of Craftyann's lovely digi stamps, she is so clever and I have really enjoyed playing with it. I put the image into MCS to manipulate it and I also used some backing paper from MCS. I coloured the digistamps with promarkers and distressed the edges of a doily with a distressed ink pad. I cut the image out and decoupaged them with pinflair glue.

I loved this image, the weather is so dull and dismal, working on this image reminds me that spring is'nt so far away.

Ooooooooo Another New Stamp

Here is one of my new purchases. My pal Mags bought one of these stamps and a Docraft Goody bag too. You can see what she did with hers at NannyGee's Place. I stamped the Her Art Dandelion Clock with Versa Mark pad and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used Chipped Saphire distress ink and applied with cut and dry foam. The backing paper and ribbon came in a DoCraft Goody Bag. I mounted the image on deep blue mirror card. I shall probably send this one Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog

Ancient Scraps

I loved creating this card. It is once again a U-Mount stamp stamped in distressed ink and the colour bled out with a koi water brush. The paper was then torn and distressed with a distressed ink pad and cut n dry foam. A few little embellishments completed the card.

Playtime

This photo doesn't really do this card justice, it is a mixture of cosmic shimmers, distress ink pads, Glenda Waterworth stamps and heat embossing. I just played, dabbed, stamped and spritzed until I was happy with it. It was such a lot of fun and very messy. I just wish I could remember exactly what I did to it!

Plans for the wedding are now well in hand and I must stop playing and print the invitation inserts. Or else it will be a telephone or e-mail invitation job lol

Walk Like An Egyptian

The backingpaper and decoupage are from Joanna Sheen's Egyptian Adventures. The paper pieces are from the scraps box. I made the paper damp with a mister, I scrunched it up and dabbed it on a weathered wood distressed ink pad. I then dampened the paper again and rescrunched it and dabbed it in a little bit of cosmic shimmer mist in Ancient Copper. The images are stamped in distressed ink in Soot Black.
