Hi all
Happy weekend to you - I for one am so relieved to have 2 days off as been a tiring week for me.
I have two cards to show you this time (for a change lol) - well i did say there would be more to come!
The first one to show is one for a man (have several of these to make). The stamp comes from Cuddly Buddly, a new range of steampunk stamps. I love them. I stamped it using white stazon ink. I highlighted various areas using a white poly and a gold prisma, tore round the image, wiped a gold ink pad round the edge before mounting it onto another piece of green card. I then mounted it onto a kraft card blank. I stamped the greeting using the gold inkpad onto the green backing card. That's it for the male card and here are the pics.

Now for the other card lol. I have used this stamp on a few cards now cos I just love it and its versatility. It is the winter scene by stampendous. This time I coloured it using muted browns and used glitter for the snow instead of flower soft. I think I prefer it actually. I mounted it onto a plum coloured backing card, stamped the sentiment to the side and mounted it onto another kraft card blank. Now for the pics.....

I think the Santa sleigh card has a great masculine feel. This Steampunk look makes it different, and I really like it!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas cottage card is beautigul with all that glitter and I think the stamped postcard background is an excellent choice for this vintage style design.
