Howdy Campers n Crafters!
Sheesh! Saturday has sneaked back around Muy Rapido this week lol!
It is a glorious day here in Cheshire - Hope it is the same with you :-)
Today I am going to share some of those dreaded C word cards with you as there are only 10 Saturdays til it is upon us!
Yesterday Mum and I took a trip to High Legh Garden centre for coffee and the craft shop. While we there Mum espied a card made using this stamp from Woodware
She isn't a stamper but is beginning to fancy a go. While unpacking our purchases I decided to have a practice with it.........and oops if I didn't get carried away!!
So here is my take on the one stamp challenge I gave myself last night :-)
These first two cards were coloured using the Gorjayous Wink of Stella pens - I really have fallen head over heals for their subtle glimmer factor!
To add more interest the card on the left is decoupaged - it's an ideal stamp for this as it's easy to see where needs cutting.
After this I decided to go for a slightly more glamour-unge style
This time I used Distress Inks and Distress stains to create the backgrounds (I particularly love the metallic stains for adding Christamssey shimmer :-) ) and chose to ink the stamp in parts rather than as a whole.
I hope you like my first Christmas offering - I am sure there will be more to follow - I guess it's inevitable with the silly season bearing down on us!!
Have a good weekend and I will see you all soon
Crafty Cheers for now
Love
Rae
