Stamping Basics Sample Cards

Here are a couple of the cards that we completed at last fridays class.

For this card we used the Cuttlebug,script embossing folder and Antique Linen distress ink pad. The layer was cut using nestabilities Label Seven. The beautiful girl is by Ollifant from Kars. The bench is also from the same set and they both work well together when you use the masking technique. They were both stamped in Vintage Photo distress ink and coloured using Brushed Corduroy, Tea Dye distress inks and a waterbrush.

For this card we used the faux bleach technique. The 4x4" card blank was distressed all over with Mustard Seed distress ink and edged using Spiced Marmalade distress ink. Using Black Stazon we stamped gardening Piggy and then taking a waterbrush we lifted the colour from selected areas of the image.

I really struggled to take a photo of our last card so I will list the goodies used and let you use your imagination. Vesamark, Perfect Pearls in Interference Green, Hampton background stamp, Nestabilities and embossing folders.

Leonies ATC Catch Up

Tone on Tone For this one I've used Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. Direct to paper for the base card, scrunch, drag, spritz and iron for the layer and standard stamping to finish off. Chop and Change For this one I've used Wild Plum and Denim Alcohol inks on old yohurt pot tops. Chopped them up peiced them on to a base card, added fake stitching, a couple of clear glitter stickers added to the scraps, cut out and stuck on.
