Garden of Life

Pretty in Pink

I stamped a single flower head all over the base card with a Brilliance (pearlescent orchid) ink pad, using the same flower head and ink I stamped the image twice rotating the 2nd stamping slightly to make a more intense flower when stamping the leaves I touched the edges of the leaf in a deaper green shade. I blened the edges using cut'n'dry foam using the same shade of pink ink.

These bloom head stamps make such quick cards & make such a statement the stamps are by PTI (Garden of Life designed by Alli Miles) I found that arment with the stamps and some pretty ink colours I just couldn't stop playing with them.

Father Knows Best

This little Tree trunk and leaf stamps are just wonderful they allow you to stamp up a variegated looking tree by using different green ink tones, I used the fish bubble stamps from the Pond Life stamp set to add the berries to the tree.

Finished by stamping the sentiment and adding glossy accents to the berries and darker leaves.

then the usual layering up and a ribbon as a finishing touch.


Garden of Life

Papertrey Ink Garden of Life stamps designed by Alli Miles are just wonderful to use, most of the stamps are designed to interact with each other making them perfect for over laying.


I made a simple background by stamping in Palette sweet blush ink on a plain piece of white card stock then I folded another piece of the same card into a small tent fold card and stamped
the front face using 2 of the blossoms from the stamp set.

I notched the back of this card so that I could slot the front piece into the semi circle which is keeping it closed I used the Berry sorbet card stock and ribbon to finish the card.

I also stamped a secret message on the inside of the front card.

Remember When...

I realise that not everyone will share my passion for Sepia tones so here is the full colour version of the decoupage sheets, I think you'll agree that we have kept the nostagic appearance intact.

So first thing Tuesday (we have a bank holiday Monday "Yeay") these little beauties will find themselves being framed, I'll let you see them once they are done.

Just a note to say that Bev has added more to her blog, something a little different than using them on face value. Also pop by to Karen's album for another wonderful idea.

At the Coal Face

This is the 3rd Decoupage in the Remember When...Series 1

Being a Pitman's Daughter this is the one that got me excited and indeed,mean't the most to me.

It is the one that took the longest time to get the decoupage paper right.
