Fun and Funky

When Della, from 'I Brake for Stamps', told me about adding hair to the images, I couldn't wait to try it out. This card is the result and I hope that it will be the first of many. I used the cord that we sell and teased it out to make the hair. The stamp is from the new range from the Merry Stamper. Don't you just love it?

I used the Art and Graphic pens to add colour and the hair is from the cord that we also sell on the site.

The paper beneath the image is good quality wrapping paper.

Have a go yourself. You'll love thsi technique.

This is the whole sheet of stamps:

I'll be demonstrating at the NEC this week so please come along.

Anniversary Card

Now that the wedding season is with us we shouldn’t forget that the anniversaries that are also prolific. So to celebrate that special anniversary with humour I’ve made a lovely card that your friends and relatives will love to get.



For this card you will need:

1. 1 DL card in pale blue.
2. The loving couple stamp from our new Flaunt it sheet of unmounted rubber stamps.
3. 1 sheet of white card for stamping the image and the background paper.
4. Youth is a State of Mind Stamp from the Funny Ladies sheet of stamps.
5. Art and graphic pens from Kuretake in Pink, Skin Tone, Grey and Blue
6. Stazon in Stone Grey

What to do:
1. Use Stazon in Stone Grey to stamp the image on to a piece of white card and trim to size. Colour the image with the pink and blue pens and use a little water to thin the paint to give a paler colour where needed. Edge the card in blue.
2. Decorate a piece of card with the pink calligraphy from the Heart set that you have edged with the blue pen from the Art and graphic pens from Kuretake. Trim to leave a fairly wide border as seen in the example. Edge the card in blue as you did with the earlier card.
3. Stick to the base card and use 3d foam pads to stick the loving couple sheet to the card.
4. Now, use Stone Grey Stazon to stamp the Youth message and again edge in blue. Yes, lots of blue edging here I know but it helps to harmonise the Images.
5. Use 3d foam pads to stick to the card. Your card is finished.

One Sassy Lady

Kim at Simply Faries has spurred me on to use one of my most popular stamps. I liked what she did so much that I had to have a go as well. This is my effort.

As usual I used the Brushables and the Art and Graphic pens from Kuretake to colour the image.
