Frames Series #4

 Hi and welcome to my blog. I am showing my 4th card in my frame series. This victorian frame is so pretty. I saw that I had cut out several of these. I made a subtle background for this card by inking up a paper towel, spritzing it with water and holding it firmly over my card stock. You can see a light print from the paper towel.

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous Sponsor/s for their continued support.  

Today I made a treat box for my grandson for Valentine's Day, using the Love Treat stamp. I wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day!

I always like to have a stash of birthday cards on hand. I love these little "mousies" peeking out from under the party hat. I made a background by sponging oxide inks on my card stock, then spritzing water on a number stencil and laying it over the sponged backgrouind. When I lifted off the stencil the water lifted off some of the ink and left a light image of the numbers. After it was dry I used a birthday embossing folder and ran it through my machine.
