Good morning, stampers.  Hope you’re well.

Yesterday I had a bit of a different kind of play – less inky and a bit more organised, playing with different things.

For the Ladies Only Challenge at Allsorts I made this pretty, girly card…I used Spun Sugar for the stencilled background and Prisma Pencils to colour.

GIRLZ

Next time I’ll be a little more concerned about where the wording falls – I was so busy making sure the words stamped straight, I didn’t notice the t was on the shoe.

This one was just a simple Penny Black stamp I use a lot for quick cards – I don’t know why but I just love this little sheep! I dry embossed it with one of those partial embossing folders to take away the plainness.

JUST FOR EWE

I tried this card last week, but the word didn’t stamp properly and I was really frustrated with it. When I checked it the foam underneath was undercut on all 3 of the set of stamps – I didn’t expect that from Hero Arts. I decided to unmount them and put them on EZ mount – much easier to use and far more reliable now Smile

FRIENDZ

That’s actually Citrus ink but the photo doesn’t show the brightness well.

While dry embossing, I did a little more on this card.

BLOOM

BLOOM DRY EMBOSSED

This one is for the Floral Delight Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. I love this flower stamp set! The flowers are very  simply coloured with Prisma Pencils and I cut the word stamp in two to give more options. The edges are sponged with Bundled Sage Distress Ink.

I’ll also enter the

Addicted to Stamps Anything Goes Challenge.
