Wednesday Stamper.

I have made this card as my submission to Wednesday Stamper. I coloured the card using colorbox inks and created the chequer board effect - as seen on police uniform - by cuttting squares from a sheet of foam. I added the antique brads as they reminded me of old fashioned buttons. The stamp is from The Queens Dresser Drawers.

So Many Cowboy's.....

.....so little rope!! I made this card for a design challenge using a template. Having never used a template before i really struggled with were to start , and my inspiration came in the form of a little bottle of Copper coloured paint! I found this image on art-e-zine and colour toned it using colorbox inks and splatters of copper paint, I then applied a layer of glaze. I created a distressed background using alcohol inks and leaving large areas of blank card which i coloured again using colorbox inks. I used an old paintbrush to apply splatters of copper paint to the whole surface. The copper wire across the card is from inside an electrical flex.

Tag Book.











I have made this Tag Book for a forum swap. The theme was open to personal choice , and we were to use a variety of embelishments and colours. I have used no stamps in creating this , choosing to use images from art-e-zine instead. The background was made using alcohol inks.

For my Mum.


Around Fathers Day I always try to find a way of letting my mum know how much she means to me. This year is the first time ive made her a card, well, since i was at Primary School ! I chose to use these colours as they are her favourite colour range. The stamp is from Inkadinkado, the inks are colorbox.

I made this card for my Father in law for Fathers Day. He is a keen fisherman, hence my choosing this stamp from Funstamps. I used alcohol inks to create the background , and heat embossed the main image using copper coloured embossing powder.

DCM Challenge.

Ive made this card for Lana's Birthday, and as its my first attempt at heat embossing on a card ive decided to submit it to Daring Cardmakers, as this week's challenge is Embossing. For this card i used alcohol inks on glossy cardstock to create the background. I stamped the image on white card using versamark, I then applied black embossing powder and heat set. I cut the image out and coloured with Perfect Pearls which i had mixed with water. I then stamped the image again on the purple alcohol inked background using black Brilliance ink to which I applied clear embossing powder and heat set. I overlayed the image and attached with adhesive. This is my first submission to Daring Cardmakers.
