Out With the New and in With the Old #5

 Hi and welcome to my blog! I am showing another card today using some old wooden stamps. I have so many wooden stamps that I never use! It has been fun making cards using them. I also used an old product called Flower Soft for the flowers in the wagon. Do you remember when Flower Soft was all the rage?

 I am here again with another card using an old wooden stamp. I have always loved this rose stamp, but I have not used it in a long time! 

I stamped the rose on vellum using clear ink and white embossing powder. I colored the rose with alcohol markers on the back of the image. I really like this look and I need to do this technique more often!

I cut the vellum diagonally and added it to the bottom of colorful 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 a bit of extra blog candy love from the team

Word Art Wednesday: Anything Goes #738 - 739

Out with the New and in with the Old #3

 Hi and welcome to my blog! Today I am showing another card I made for my blog series using old wooden stamps. I pulled out a background from my stash where I had smooshed some pastel colors onto watercolor cardstock. I stamped a background stamp over the top using clear ink and gold embossing powder. The butterfly was stamped on another piece of background paper I had made. It was fussy cut and added to the card.

Over at the Time Out Challenge we were to pick at least 2 things from their list of 6 to make our cards. I chose twine and sparkle. I love using twine on my cards. If you know me you will see that I use it a lot. I think it adds a good finishing touch to cards. Who does not like sparkle? As I said above, I used gold embossing powder on the background and the twine is also sparkly!
