Loving the jumbo stamp wheel

Hello just a little blog as off to Telford very early tomorrow morning.........think I will be leaving before the birds wake up!!!!!!
What another lovely day...sun out makes you feel good......


So I had a go at the jumbo stamp wheel Very Vintage

I'm loving this little card hope you do to....

Ingredients

Baked brown sugar card stock cut to size

whisper white card stock cut to size

So split the whisper white card stock in half, using gorgeous grunge stamp with baked brown sugar ink I stamp the top bit....to help me I did mask off the bottom just in case....now to do bottom so masked the top off and inked up wheel with again baked brown sugar, and just rolled it along the page...the line in between the two stamps I put bakers twine in with gold thread going through it I think it looks good.

Then just to use my sweetly framed stamp set  and again baked sugar.. three pearls in a row and there you have this cute card......

You could try this card in different co lour ways which just might do.......watch this space...

Have a lovely weekend...

thankx for popping by...

making my own background paper!!!!!

Hi everyone...well what a lovely sunny day today...got so much done.....only three sleeps to Tel ford looking forward to it soooo much!!!!!!
well to day on my blog just thought I'd share with you my cute little card.......by making my own back ground....with just two inks and a dobber.....

hope you like it....
first cut whisper white card stock to size......then in each four corners used Daffodil delight with my dobber moving in small circle movements.......then i used strawberry slush ink filled in the white space's and then blended the inks together..  ...once this is done i took stamp from simple stem and stamped it in strawberry slush then i second stamped the stamp making it look light....bit like a shadowing......now you have the background... really enjoy making my own backgrounds.... I then matted it onto strawberry slush card stock....which i think sets it off..... cut to size a piece of whisper white card stock and Matt this onto strawberry slush..... then i stamp out the flower but looking at it looks like fireworks going off ( now that's another card~) stamped the stews and just to take the crisp white look image i again used my dobbers with daffodil delight just to take off the white off of the card... i love this cute card hope you do to,
thanx for popping by
