Faux Postage Stamps: Weihnachten
2 hours ago
Sunday, 22 April 2012
Just had a lovely hour playing in my half organised Stamping Room and I can’t find a flipping thing… I think I need to go mad and label things this time, not to mention finish sorting through boxes!
So this is my entry for Artistic Times ‘'Sea of Greens’.
There’s quite a bit of heat embossing, too, so it fits FSC, Challenge 20, which is Embossing.
Back to sorting out after ‘Brunch’.
Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend!
[Edited: the dragonflies are Non Sequitur and the inks are a mixture of Dylusions, Adirondacks, Distress ink and Starburst Stains. The dragonfly words stamp is one of Jo’s wonderful designs for Stampotique]
Forgot to say that one of my cards was chosen as a Spotlight winner on Penny Black and More and went live today, so thank you very much to the team for that!
Thank you for all the lovely comments you’ve been leaving – they really brighten my day!

I just love it! fantastic green card!
I enlarged this so I could see all the detail...not too much at all! Lovely work!
Wow colours coming off my screen, stunning card!
Love your images and the verse is one of my favorites. When I was in Arizona a few years back I went to a butterfly exhibit where you were let into this dome full of plants and butterflies. I just sat very still and sure enough they came and sat on me. It was such delightful experience.
WOW!! This is great. Wow, the colors, the background with the different stapms, the dragonfly's, it's ART!!!
Don't know how I missed this beauty Cath, Sorry. I love the colour you hae used on this - it really is a sea of green.
