Happy Saturday! Hope you’re all well?
Before I show you my latest ‘makes’ I’ll share what I did with one of the cards in the last post. It was looking way too plain for me, so to brighten it, I cut off the front and attached it to a square white card – I think it looks a whole lot better! The white card is hammer textured, so it adds a bit more interest and looks better in real life.
My closest friends all have birthdays in the next few weeks (and a few weeks beyond) and two of them share the same love of this colour combination with me, so I was able to indulge myself, using pigment inks and clear embossing powder.
I love this Penny Black Fuchsia stamp and use it over and over in different ways. Here, it’s used with Tombow felt tips to make a far more subtle card, but staying with the same colour combo.
Have a great weekend!
