Thank you ladies for your lovely comments. Elin and Elizabeth – I have made a smaller version of this so it will fit in a C6 envelope. Click on “Tutorials” on the nav bar at the top of my blog and mosey on by to “Stamp with Elaine”, you’ll find I’ve taken note of your […]

Garden Dream, Bella Toile
In a bid to use some of the retiring colours – Blush Blossom and Orchid Opulence, I teamed it with Rich Razzleberry and Very Vanilla to make this card. I used the Hostess Level 3 stamp set called Garden Dream – stamped the floral image in Black Stazon and coloured in with an aqua pen […]
Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge #30 Case DT’s card, New Technique, New Colour Combo
This fortnight’s challenge is to case a card from one of the Inspiring Inkin’s Design Team blogs and use a new technique or colour combo that we’d never used before. I chose Vannessa’s card which she did for a challenge to make 3D roses here and here. As I’ve never done these flowers before, I […]
Father’s Day Card
With a bit of selective stamping (blocking out bits of words I didn’t want) I managed to stamp “happy Father’s day”) for the sentiment. The car looks like hubby’s new car in silhouette, so thought it quite appropriate to use it on his “Father’s Day” card. The cogs were a perfect match to embellish with. […]

A Sympathy Card
I find Sympathy cards really difficult to do and finally had to raid my private collection to make this card which I keep on deferring. All I can say is that the sentiment “thinking of you” is from Bird on a Branch, a stamp set in the Mini which I wasn’t particularly enamoured with but […]
Bird on a Branch
I’ve just started a new “Stamp With Elaine” monthly craft club and having tried my hand at a recessed card on the Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge Blog last Saturday, I decided this would be a good one for launching our very first project at our first meeting. Here we’ve used the same emboss resist technique but […]
Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge # 29 Technique Emboss Resist
Goodness, how time flies – it’s already a fortnight since the last Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge. This fortnight’s challenge is a Technique based one emboss resist with the side twist of using a punch or punches somewhere on the card. I chose to make a recessed card – so basically stamped a “scene” using the floral […]
