Mothers Day Cards

Im actually ahead of the game on this one, large one is for my mum and the other is for the in law, hope they appreciate the work that went into them, used a Heidi Swapp mask on pages of old book, then used mixed colourbox inks to colour up, drew around flower on paper, cut out then coloured with distress inks, I think they are pretty took me a while to come up with idea.

Experimenting

These are a few ATC I made when trying out different things at home, hope you like them.

Crafty Stamper

Been busy trying out new techniques from back issues of Craft Stamper, my fave magazine.

Used October 2008 issue, page 63 to have a go at making some embellishments, was very pleased with the results on Jigsaw Pieces and I'm looking forward to using these techniques on future pieces of my own design, the dominoes was a bit more of a hit and miss, but I can only improve.

Used March 2009 issue, to have a go at brayering techniques, page 24, this was great fun and I loved the stamp they used so much I searched the web until I found it at Blade Rubber stamps, cant wait for delivery of it so that I can play, loved the colours used in this article, so rich and vibrant.

So this is my new years resolution to actually try out the techniques I admire in magazines rather than just looking at them and then filing them away for use in the (distant) future.

Seem to have lost my comment link, hope this brings it back up for you all.
