Out With the New and in With the Old #18

 Here is another card I made with my old wooden stamps. I used a piece of background paper in my stash where I had dropped some colors of alcohol inks into water in a pan. The alcohol inks float on top of the water. I placed some glossy cardstock into the water to make this speckled background.

Paper Funday: Anything Goes #91

Out With the New and in With the Old #17

 I am having so much fun using my old wooden stamps this year. It is like I am using new stamps. 

On this card I made my own patterned paper by randomly stamping one leaf all over a piece of light green cardstock. I stamped the flowers and some more leaves on white cardstock, colored them, fussy cut them and added them to the card. I love the sketched look of these stamps.

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 Sponsors for their continued support!

 

I pulled a background I had made from my stash for this card. I patted a Versa Mark clear ink pad over the flat areas of the embossing folder and ran it through the machine. I applied green sparkle embossing powder over the card and heat set it. The leaves and flowers were colored using Distress inks and water.

Out With the New and in With the Old #16

 Here is my second beach card I made using old wooden stamps. I pulled out a background that I found in my stash where I had used a brayer on glossy cardstock. 

Years ago I was with my friend at a stamp store and was looking for a beach cabanas stamp. She spied one for me and I think the stamp is so neat! I am so glad I got to use it on this card. The stamp actually has three cabanas on it, but I just stamped part of the stamp to fit on this card.

Wooden Stamps: Beach Cabanas - Pink Ink Stamps

Embossing Folder: Seashells - Darice
