Hi again
I'm really
sorry that I am hit and miss at the moment but its the house move
that's taking up every spare minute we seem to get – opps just told
you all a little white lie – the sun was yelling at me yesterday so
I just had to laze around in the garden!!! Got a lovely start to the
suntan though.
A few days
ago I mentioned I had a couple of stamped cards to share so this is
the first.
I used
some amazing stamps from a new company
http://www.aciddropsandwhatnots.co.uk/
The stamps
are so different – really quirky – great fun...
And as you
can see they work well when simply matted and layered in basic
colours!!!
I have
just been back on the website and ordered another couple of stamps
for when I manage to get my new craft room set up again!!!
So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat
to work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
6x6
scalloped card blank
sheet of
grey backing paper by Papermania
Stamp AD20
Lost 14 stone
Oddments
of black card
flat back
pearls in natural and metallic grey
Sticky
pads
Eazi Score
Board & tool
Tonic 8”
guillotine
Scissors
Tweezers
Shaping
tool from www.dimensionstamps.com
Foam
shaping mat – stamping mat or even a mouse mat
To
make the card …
The
scalloped card blank was folded in half then I trimmed a piece of
grey patterned paper to fit the front leaving the scallops clear –
the corners of the paper were nipped with a corner punch then paper
stuck in place with double sided tape.
I stamped
the lady using Black Memento ink pad, trimmed it down, nipped the
corners then matted onto a piece of black card – nipped those
corners then stuck to the left hand side of the card front again with
double sided tape.
Next I
stamped 2 of the sayings – the Darling at the top with the lovely
shaped divider across the bottom and then the 2nd part of
the verse.
Like the
main image I nipped the corners, matted onto black with nipped
corners then added to the card at an angle with double sided tape.
All that
was left was to decorate and that was quick and easy..
I used
natural coloured flat backed pearls in the 4 corners of the lady and
in the centre of the black flowers of the backing paper.
I may when
I find my crafty things – add a dot or two of colour to the lady –
or even a sprinkling of glitter – but for now she is as she is!!!
And that's
the card completed.
I did have
someone in mind to send it off to but did something different so this
is in the to use or to sell box
Catch you
again “sometime soon”– same place folks
