MERRY CHRISTMAS SNOWFLAKE

One of my favourite things about the new Snowflakes are the Buttterflies stamp set from Quietfire Design is the snowflake Merry and Christmas stamps. They go together perfectly to create a very delicate and pretty snowflake.

This card has a circle stamped background. So easy peasy and you make it exactly as it sounds. My circle stamp is a die-cut fun foam stamp and it works great with Distress Inks.

You can see the light spritz of shimmer spray in this close-up.

Here is a card I previously posted using the same circle background technique, done the same way with the same fun foam stamp.

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by!

 

 

WELCOME FALL!

The colours of autumn- comfy, toasty and vibrant. Then, I go one step further and add a little shimmer.

 

I used a gold stardust gelly roll pen to outline the stamped design. That's the shimmer, but there is more going on here. The stamp is a die-cut fun foam background stamp made with a Spellbinders botanical expandable die. I stamped on white cardstock, let it dry and I brayered inks over it. Then I followed up with the gelly roll pen. The actual stamp (die) is more than twice the size of the strip you see here.

The friend sentiment from Quietfire Design was stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with espresso embossing powder. The little leaf is perfect for fall and got a little gold sparkle too.

Again, hard to photograph because of the shimmer, the sunshine and the photographer. :) I must have taken 30 shots of this card and this is the best of them.

 

This card is dedicated to my wonderful friend Karen. Fall is not her favourite season- she is a Spring girl! However, she knows I like Fall and she loves me anyway.

 

I hope you are enjoying your day and thank you for dropping by.

 

 

 

BOLD & BRIGHT

Now and again, my eyes want BRIGHT colours and this card is a result of that. I began by cutting a stamp from fun foam using spellbinder dies. I attached the 'stamp' to packaging plastic with double-sided tape, then attached  that to my acrylic block for stamping.

I used a few distress inks for stamping and added some champagne shimmer ink dots with a stylus.

Bright and fun.

Play along...break out the brights.

Have a fantastic day and thank you for stopping by!
