Two of a Kind

Hello Again,

 

I am back with another pair of cards, this time using unusual colours for Christmas, I inked an A4 sheet with Distress oxides, I used a scrunched up nappy wipe to add interest to the ink before over doing the water spray over a star stencil. Large stars are supplies I bought from a toy/craft supply store while working in a preschool, I think there must be about 5 of each of the five colours left to use up... added a doodled border in metallic purple, the silver pen appears to have dried out, stored in the same packet. 

What I used:

MFT Sentiment stamp
Prize Ribbon, Wilted Violet and Peacock Feathers
Clear embossing ink
Silver sparkle Embossing powder
Star Stencil

Purple Gel Ink pen

Twin Trees

 Hello again,

Well, I am back with a pair of Christmas cards, to join in with some of the current challenges, getting ready for Christmas. 

I followed the instructions with the Group of Seven Cardmakers ladies to make this pair of cards, heat embossing the background using Kaisercraft 'script' stamp (5cmx13cm) four times for each card, I did this on a cooler night as the days before have been more like Summer, placed the Christmas tree stencil from a magazine over, inked with Mowed Lawn, Candied Apple and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink. Sentiment stamped onto scraps of red card stock and heat embossed in white powder. 

What I used:

Kaisercraft 'Script' clear stamp

Christmas Tree Stencil

Stitched rectangle die

2 white 12.6x17.8cm card blank (5x7")

Clear and White Embossing powders

Two visitors in the garden, Australian Magpies, adult bird at the front, baby bird at the back. As sweet as some Magpies are others are extremely territorial and these birds are known to swoop, sometimes causing severe injuries to those who wander, ride, play too close to their nests. 

Have a wonderful week...
