Penny Black Stamp - Mother card

A watercolour technique is used to create the Penny Black Curlicue real flower stamp image that you see on this card, I used water colour felt tipped pens to colour directly onto the rubber stamp I then sprayed the stamp with a fine mist of water a couple of sprays then stamp onto the card, this gives the effect of hand painted flowers, now isn't that amazing?
I layered up with Nestabilities and a pretty Once upon a time paper.
I used a previously made up blossom and added a ribbon to finish.

Christmas Pudding Card

I used a Pink Petticoat image for this card, I thought it would be a perfect Christmas card for Lauren my Daughter who is expecting our first Grandchild.
Isn't it a fun image?
I coloured it with Tombo oens and layered it up ontop of Nestabilies die shapes, I printed the wording and holly directly onto the card from publisher on my computer.
I ribbon and a bit of stickles glue to finish.

Rubber Stamp Tapestry - Christmas Card

I love these little Tapestry craft stamps the are perfect for card making, I love the build your own tecknique each different image is an individual little rubber stamp which allows you to build your own image from scratch.
I started on a white tentfold A6 card and drew a faint pencil line around a Nestabilities circle then set to wok starting with the poinsettia's and distress ink then moved on to the holly again in the distrss ink I used gold ink for the bauble and lighter shades of green for the other foliage. I tied an irridscent ribbon into a bow and attatch at the bottom of the wreath shape.
I did the same in stamping the JOY word and againg added the tapestry stamps to the O I cut out the JOY words with the Nestabilitie squares and useing the scalloped die cut out another square in red card stock,
I finished by adding the red top notch twill ribbon and used stickles glitter glue to add some sparkle to the wreath.

Jayne Netley Mayhew - Craft CD

I bought the Jayne Netley Mayhew CD by Joanna Sheen to try it out, It is full jam packed with fabulous illustrations of Jayne's artwork, as my wonderful Mam is learning the computer I thought this would really interest her so it will be shared between the two of us.
I printed the Rhino onto smooth mat paper and layered up the image with matching card stock.
I also printed a matching background from the CD which I used on the inside of the card.
I cut part of the front of the card away and replaced it with strong acetate and used a Rollagraph stamp across the remaining card front with brown ink, I finished the card with a satin ribbon and edged the card with a Sakura calligraphy Gold pen.
