Cards for today

Cards that I finished this morning

Poppies

Clean and simple cards with Clarity stamps

I re-discovered my poppy set from Clarity Stamps and made these cards over the weekend.

I used the Petite Gelli plates for the backgrounds.

Make & Take Friday 8th March

Here are 3 samples for tomorrows Make & Take.

For the background on this card I have sponged the card with 2 colours of Distress Oxide inks and then crunched it up then flatten, use a crunched up piece of kitchen roll and rub a little on to it then wipe gently over the inked surface. Spray with water and place another piece of card on the back and front then put through your die cutting machine to flatten it out and you will get another piece that looks just like marble.

Here is the spare piece that has taken up the ink after going trough the machine. I used a brown for rubbing over the cracks.

another card selection.

Make & take Friday 11th May

I loved this messy background as I was making it today then stamped the poppy and bleached it, I liked the look of it so left it as it was but I might try another poppy layer on the top in the morning to see how it looks.
