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.

70's Inspired

This is a U-Mount stamp which reminded me of some wallpaper that my Mum had in the 1970's. I coloured the stamp in with Promarkers. Stamped and cut out some extra flowers to decorated the top edge of the card blank which I cut on a angle. I put a piece of gingham paper from Joanna Sheen behind the front and added a Happy Birthday peeloff. The muted colours and the retro flowers work very well together. I just wish I was a better photographer as the photo's don't do the card justice

Symphony of blues

I have really been playing with colours a lot lately and having a lot of fun revisiting techniques I haven't used for ages. This card has backing paper from Glenda Waterworths Peacock Summer Party which has the most scrummy backing papers on it. The topper is made using a brayer with Kaleidacolour ink pad in Blue Breeze on glossy card stock. I then embossed in silver with a U-Mount stamp and embellished with blue and lilac gems. The girl image is from Sugar Nellie and has been coloured with Promarkers. It was lovely to do this card and lovely to be able to mess around and get really mucky!!

Holiday Card

This card is for a lady from the forum who is in Somerset on holiday. I am meeting her later for a cuppa. It is again scraps from my scrap box and a U-Mount Stamp from the Coast collection. I have coloured it using my new bestest friends Promarkers. I am delighted with just how subtle the colouring with these pens can be. Very versatile pens that give a lovely finish
