Feel Better Soon

I am showing a card today for the Hero Arts challenge Mr. Postman. The challenge is to make a card and send it. This card will be going to a friend who recently had a fall.  I used a Hero Arts script background wood stamp that I use a lot and have had for many years. The flower is also a Hero Arts wood stamp and I love the dimension it gives with just using one color of ink. This time I used  Tombow markers to color the flower.

Brick Background

 Hi and welcome to my blog! I am showing a card I made using a brick background. I love trying new techniques, so I tried this brick background that I found online. I started with a brick embossing folder by Sizzix and ran it through my machine using white card stock. I brushed blue ink over the whole piece of card stock and then swiped brown ink over top in a few places. Next I spritzed the background a few times with water to give it a little more texture. Lastly I went over the grout areas of the brick with a white colored pencil to make the bricks stand out more. I plan on trying other colors soon using this technique. 

Stamp:  Sunflower - Sparkle N Sprinkle

Embossing Folder:  Brick - Sizzix

Die:  Happy Birthday - Spellbinders 2024 Advent Calendar

Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

 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 want to give a shout out to our new team members, Cari, Pam, Shelly and Tracy. Please pop over to the challenge and give them a big welcome!
