A Stamp With Us Sketch.

Hi everyone,
Happy Sunday!

Here's the sketch for SWU this fortnight.

I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get a 6 x 6 scrapbook page done! I've always wanted to give scrapbooking a go, but was always too scared (I don't really know why...)

I might even get enough done to fill a scrapbook, you never know!

I really like how it turned out, and having the sketch was a great help.

Now, because this was a spare of the moment idea I didn't have any photos printed *to be scrapped etc, so I tried to keep the page as neutral as possible but I'm sure I'll find one to go on there.

This is using the new colours Soft Suede for the background and Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry butterflies with some Razzleberry polka dot ribbon (and I had to include some ribbon ruffling didn't I!?)

Hope you like it!

Don't forget to pop over to SWU to see the other DT creations!

Thanks for stopping by,
take care.

Brayering...

... continued!

Hello my lovely blog readers, hope your well.

How cold is it!?? I can barely move my fingers even with the heating on, think it's time for a hot bath !

So, as I mentioned in my last posts, I went to see New Moon (Seriously, I hear you say, will she ever shut up about it? lol) I've arranged to go see it again next week so I'm extremely happy.

And look what I came across - completely by accident of course... ;o)


Oh please, is someone trying to torture me on purpose?

Sorry, I am slightly obsessed. Onto the brayering!

My second card is similar to the first in that I masked out a moon, brayered colours for the sky thenstamped an image. This time I used the Pocket Silhouette stamp set. I stamped the foliage in Basic grey stamping off onto scrap first to leave a faint image, then stamped in Basic Black directly onto the card with a second stamp from the set.

I then used my Cutter Kit to distress the edges of the coloured card stock that complemented the colours I used for the sky. I love this little cutter kit, so easy to use! It distresses but in a controlled way if you know what I mean.

I have a confession to make, I originally stamped my sentiment straight onto the background but it was slightly out and annoyed me so I used the Word Window punch and popped it up on dimensionals! Everything is salvageable!! (Is that a real word?)

I hope you like it, the last card with this technique will be shown on Monday so don't forget to pop back (and I promise that's the last of all this Rob Pattinson talk... for now!!)

Thanks for stopping by,
take care.
