French Marigold

Hi Crafty Friends!

Another one of my favourite stamps by STAMPlorations is the French Marigold which is retired yet still available as digital stamp. You can check it out in their Digital Store here.

I combined the marigold with the Squares Flexi-Template for the background. The flower has been coloured using DIs and small make up brushes.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

A Cup Of Roses

Hi Crafty Friends!

Being on a roll with one-layer cards, I made another one using one of the retired STAMPlorations stamps which are now available as digital stamps from their Digital Store here. It's the A Cup Of Roses stamp ...

The roses were coloured using my metallic pencils and the background was sponged using the Ovals Flexi-Template and Kitsch Flamingo DI. I intentionally didn't ink up right to the image as I rather like the little white halo for added dimension. the other advantage is that the image doesn't need to be masked off, one can carefully apply ink close up using small make up brushes.

Again this card should be easy to recreate using the digital stamp. If you wanted to mask the flowers, simply print on copy paper, fuzzy cur and use repositionable double sided tape to adhere the mask in place.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

You Are Loved

Hi Crafty Friends!

Another little quick card from me for today, this time using a poly plate and stamps by Crafty Roo Designs.

It's always good to have some quick card ideas on hand. This layout could be adapted for many occasions.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Butterfly Row

Hi Crafty Friends!

Got another one-layer card for you using one of the retired STAMPlorations stamps which are now available as digital stamps from their Digital Store here.

I stamped some splatters and finished off with a sentiment. Again, this card could be easily recreated using the digital Butterfly Row stamp.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Framed Rose

Hi Crafty Friends!

I dug out some of my older Stamplorations stamps which are officially retired, but now available as Digital Stamps from their Digital Store here.

I created a simple one-layer card which would be easy to recreate using the digital stamp. It's simply coloured using pencils and finished off with a few partial de-bossed lines

Wishing you all a lovely day!
