Shadow stamping

Not sure what the weather is doing today! Its bright n breezy, which is nice. I know I have loads of cards to make so I had better get my act together. I have had such a busy week and been out every evening! 

I love this technique of shadow stamping, I was really impressed with the finished card. We used a Hero Arts block stamp in white Stazon and then stamped over the top with a green Versa magic ink. Then added a few pearls for effect. The background was made by stamping green on the green card.

This is the other card we made using the same technique.

This is the fab new studio at the Glitterpot, not quite finished but nearly there! As you can see we were all hard at work and deep in thought except me snapping piccies when they were not paying attention.

And of course one on the lovely teacher Jane Gill

Bye for now and I will be back soon I promise. xx

Toppers with Tapestry Stamps

Sorry for being a bad blogger! Here are the toppers as promised made with Jane Gill as part two of the class. We made these gorgeous toppers using the Tapestry stamps and Kaleidacolour ink pads. I really enjoy using these stamps.Hope you are all enjoying the warm weather.

Quilt Card

Oh what a fabulous day to spend off work, down at the Glitter Pot with the lovely Jane Gill, oh and some other lovely ladies. (thought I had better give you a mention, you know who you all are......)

This is Jane's quilt card, which I think is just lovely, this one was folded from a piece of 8 x 8 paper made into a book with four panels and then decorated with Tapestry stamps, yet another of my favourites.

Sorry about the picture quality ( I am by no means a David Bailey) 

I will definitely be making some more of these, as I love this. We also made some toppers for cards with the Tapestry stamps and I will save those for another day. Take care all you blogger's and Happy Fathers Day to all the Dad's out there.

Hero Arts v Magenta

Sorry for not blogging for a while, it was noted yesterday and I promised to to a better job. I seem to spend more time blog hopping than updating me own blog. I will try to do better!

Anyway on to today's card, this idea was from the very talented Kath's blog do pop over and have a look she does the most wonderful things with Hero Art stamps amongst others. This was the card I made for my friend Helen for her birthday. Magenta stamp for the background stamped with distress ink, and the other stamps used were Hero Arts and I also used the new Stayzon gold ink pad but I am not sure about the colour!

Also back by popular demand the sleeping moggies, they lead such a busy life out all day finding feathers etc. to bring home for mum. Last weekend I had two birds eggs. I did tell them I preferred my eggs from Sainsbury's.

What a fab challenge over at Penny Black - Flowers a great chance to get out the lovely Penny Black flower stamps, as I do love these. I thought I would go for paper piecing today, a nice quick card. I decided to make the background with the PB Paisley border an old stamp from 2002 stamped with Brilliance pearlescent orchid, the flower stamp is Gossamer. Paper and Card is Doodlebug. Nestabilities to matt the flowers and Stamping up punches on the Woodware sentiment FRCL128 and the flower centres finished with some glitter.
