Out With the New and In With the Old #11

 Welcome to my blog! I hope you are having a good day. I am showing another card using my very old wooden stamps. The stamp I used today makes a card that looks like a tote bag. It opens up to reveal a sentiment inside. I have not used this stamp in years and I need to use it more often. I had so much fun making this card with it.

Out With the New and In With the Old #10

 Today I am showing another card using an old wooden stamp. I love the artsy look of it. I used an old Kaleidacolor ink pad to smoosh color to make a background. I am surprised that the ink pad is still so juicy after about 15 years! I then patted the ink pad onto my stamp, spritzed it with water and stamped it on white cardstock.

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!

And we have a bonus prize from Bunny Hoyle. 

This stamp was USED once. 

Many thanks to our generous Sponsors for their continued support!

 

I used a zig zag fold on my card today. This is a fun card to make! I like that it can sit up for display.

Out With the New and in With the Old #9

 I am really enjoying using my old wooden stamps! It seems like I am using something new since I haven't used my wooden stamps in ages. The flowers were stamped directly onto the patterned paper. I used an old technique where I tapped some inks onto the stamps, spritzed them with water and then stamped to make a watercolor effect. I stamped the jar onto a piece of acetate, fussy cut it and adhered it to the card.
