Well, Stampin’ Up! you couldn’t get more blokier than this! Not excluding lady bikers of course, but no man would mind receiving a card like this! A minimilist look, stamped in black Stazon ink on watercolour paper, coloured with Real Red, Basic Gray and outlined in Bashful Blue, then colour washed with an aqua painter […]

Tiananmen Square
This is so exciting! My son sent me these pictures this morning, hot off the press – I’m green with envy. He’s in Beijing at the moment with my grandson who at the ripe old age of 10, is on his first trip abroad. What an “exotic” location for a first timer! My grandson looks […]
Baby Blossoms
This is the Baby Blossoms set which uses the two-step stamping method. It means you have to stamp the image twice with two different stamps to complete the picture. The first stamp is in a lighter colour for the petals, and the second corresponding image stamp adds depth and is stamped in a darker colour. […]
Manhattan Flower Embossing folder
This is the embossing folder I should have used. I took the bold step of inking the folder on the “flat” side, placed my card stock face down and ran it through the Big Shot to create this effect. The Cherry Cobbler ink transferred to the card stock it came into contact with, but not […]

Clearly for You – round 2 Stamp Index card

WOYW?W #97
Goodness, I can’t believe this is my third WOWWW! A frantic effort to at least tidy a little, notice this is a close up shot so you don’t see the chaos surrounding it! On the left is a half used pack of Stampin’ Up!’s Love Letter DSP which I’m going to cover my naked 5″x […]
Baby Blossoms, Clearly for You
I used a Rose Red card base and ran this through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. The dotty stamped frame on Whisper White is from the Baby Blossoms stamp set which I cut by hand. The heron crest is from Clearly for You. Stamps: Baby Blossoms, Clearly for You, Tiny […]
