New stamp!

Hi! I bought this stamp a couple of weeks ago, and this is my first attempt at using it. I think I need some more practice! But I love the affect. I used my stamping tool, and inked up the leaves first, stamped the image, and then inked the petals with purple and stamped again. Then I added the blue, and stamped again. I spritzed before stamping each colour.

I Love You-nicorn

Hiya

Ok, I admit it. I am a bit obsessed with this unicorn image. So I decided to make a Valentines card with it. I'm not entirely sure the sentiment works, but I still like it!

The unicorns are coloured with smooshed inks again, and I used a Wink of Stella pen and a gelly roll pen to add the shimmer and sparkle.

Spring Daisies

Hi! Here's another card using my new Amazing Daisy set! I love these colours together. I stamped the outline in black, then inked up the filler stamp in blue, purple and red. I spritzed a couple of times with Glimmer Mist before stamping. I used watercolour paper so the colours would blend well together.

More Distress Oxide Trees

Hiya! I am completely obsessed with Distress Oxides! I have been making backgrounds with different colour combinations, using the watercolour smooshing technique, then spritzing with Glimmer Mist. I stamp the trees onto the backgrounds and fussy cut them out. After gluing them to the cards, I have added detail with a glitter pen and some Nuvo Drops.

Here are a few I have made:

I Love My New JOFY Trees So Much

Hiya! I can't stop making cards with my new JOFY set. I really love these cute trees! Here are a couple of cards I made, by creating backgrounds with Distress Oxides, stamping onto the background, and then paper piecing onto the stamped image on the card. I usually hate cutting out, but even I can manage triangles, and using oxides for colour means I don't have to do any colouring in! :D I used a Gell Roll glitter pen and Nuvo Drops to add sparkle and dimension.

Christmassy Distress Oxide Skies...

Hi! I've finally made a start on my Christmas cards! I've made 10 reindeer cards, creating the sky with Distress Oxides, and then layering die cuts. I used Nuvo Drops for eyes. I wanted to take a photo of all 10 cards together, as each sky is different, but there's not enough room on my desk, and to anyone but me they probably all look the same... So here's a pic of my favourite one, and a few pics of some of the others!
