Hearty .....


Made a Greetings card for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum ........

The base is a white landscape DL cardbase ....

I cut a panel from white cardstock and coloured this centrally with watercolours and a water brush. Once dry I stamped it with a thin stamp (IndigoBlu) in black Versafine ink.

I then stamped some of the frames (IndigoBlu) in more of the same ink, cutting out the centres of some before applying on foam pads over the central design.

I then added 3 'stick' red card hearts as shown and overlaid this with the sentiment (IndigoBlu) matted in black card on foam pads.

The finished panel was matted on black card and applied to the cardbase to finish ....

Llama .......


An Artist Trading Card made for a swap over on Crafty Individuals Facebook Group in the theme of 'Halloween' ....

I started with a 2.5 x 3.5 inch base made from re-cycled food packaging. I then chose some background paper from CI and trimmed to the same size.

I then selected a Llama stamp from CI and stamped this with Versafine black ink which was heat embossed with clear embossing powder. It was coloured with Distress ink washes and Posca pen before trimming out.

I also stamped the word 'Boo' in Versamark ink on red card and heat embossed with white embossing powder before trimming out.

I then added some torn purple dotty Washi tape and added the Llama grounded on this. The Llama was edged with black ink to add depth followed by the word.

I die-cut a sleeve from Kraft card and stamped this with sweeties, colouring with orang Posca pen

The ATC was then finished by edging with red Posca pen .....
