Ready-Steady-STAMP! week 16

I can't believe that we are on week 16 of the Ready-Steady-STAMP! challenge already! Even though I love making cards, I really felt like doing something different this time, so decided to make an ATC. I have used an ATC sized piece of foam board for the base which I coloured with dye inks and then overstamped with a crackle stamp. I used the shrine stamp for my 'frame', and added punched flowers. It's the first time I've used foam core board and it is incredibly light - great for keeping postal costs down!!

RSS Challenge

Here is my effort for the latest Ready-Steady-STAMP! challenge. This time the five ingredients were: the letter D; green, pink and white; buttons; a real stitched circle; and felt. I must admit that I am not very talented with a needle and thread, but I have done my best!

'Sing' card

I've just bought one of the new cling stamps by Hero Arts and made this card with it - it is called Dandelion Frame. I used various Distress inks on the stamp and spritzed lightly with water before stamping. The bird is by Katzelkraft and I have stamped and embossed this with clear ep. I loved this stamp as soon as I saw it and just had to buy it!!

Stampotique challenge

Stampotique have just started a new challenge: Stampotique Designers Challenge. The theme of the first one is 'Love' and I have used the only Stampotique stamp I have - Arty by Janet Klein. I've used lots of other stamps on this card too, and the background was created using Glimmer Mist sprays. When it had dried, I noticed that a puddle in the red area had dried in a heart shape, so decided to use that for Arty's dress - a little bit of serendipity!
