Distressed Flowers

Hi 

Today I would like to share a card I made  for the Claritystamp Challenge on Facebook, using up some of my backgrounds I have been making  so this was quick card to put together.

Background was made with Distress Inks and I also added some Ken Oliver Colour Burst and spritzed lightly.

Using Claritystamp stamps I stamped 3 times onto the dried background with shabby shutter distress ink for a muted image.  I married two stamps together as I wanted to use this pretty Lady's Mantel stamp and the stem from another.  Word stamp stamped onto same background cutout and Flakes applied to edges.......very sticky fingers..... 😊

Using flitter glue For the final image and Guilding Flakes I also dabbed glue randomly onto background and applied the Flakes.

This panel was mounted onto coordinations card which I sanded back, added to a Kraft card blank.

I would also like to add to the following challenges

A Vintage Journey - Words that are Special. 

Dream Valley Challenges - Add some Metal

Thanks for popping by 'till next time

Winter Stag

Today I am sharing a card I made for A milestone birthday recently celebrated by my DH one he was not very happy with....but he loved his card lol


I used a new stamp to me first time inked from Clarity Stamps and my old favourites distress inks.

Stag was stamped in black versafine ink and I used masking fluid to mask him first then I applied Distress Inks stormy sky, faded jeans and chipped sapphire to create the winter scene behind him, Stag was then filled in with Vintage photo. This was then cut with a circle die, next layer was inked in stormy skies and faded jeans for the background, last layer again card cut with die, tattered lace. Sentiment stamps are Kanban.

I would like to play at the following challenges

Canal Barge Christmas

I have been wanting to join in over at the Clarity Stamp Challenge for a while, but with only two Clarity stamp sets the challenge really is a challenge for me as you can use only Clarity stamps.
So today I bit the bullet and made this card to join in with challenge 9 Christmas. 

Stamp sets used Canal Barge Kit and Kingfisher kit (tree)

Think cold and frosty with snow on the hills, spending Christmas on the canal............well that's what I was thinking when I set to make my card, Distress Inks stormy sky and chipped sapphire were used for the wintery sky and crushed olive and vintage photo for the water.   Images were stamped in black archival and vintage photo.  Barge was coloured with Spectrum Noir Pens.   I added glitter for frost and  snow with quickie glue pen.  Merry Christmas was generated on the computer as I haven't got a clarity one.  This was mounted onto centura  pearl card and I found a piece of card which was the same colour as the barge for my card blank.


'till next time
