Finally Some Card Making .....

It's been a long time since I have made a mess but I have a stall at a local fete on the next Bank Holiday (providing the Cricket Club and the PreSchool can reconcile their current differences - lol). Oh the politics of a small village - eat your heart out Gordon Brown, you think you have it bad - lol.

So, anyways, this weekend I have been updating my depleted stock ....This is a new stamp from Magenta - and even though I say so myself, I rather like these. They're done on big A4 slim cards from MSA Crafts .....The stamp on these is by Penny Black - Wind Carressed. To colour them I used an old favourite - Marvy Wet Look Embossing Markers. Using them you get a really nice high gloss raised finish which looks really quite stunning ....

Two more of the same and the ones in the middle are the Hobby Art stamp, Floral Display, coloured with Twinkling H20s (such a shame they're being discontinued). The In Bloom stamp I picked up for 99p - bargain .....

The DL card with the flowers is Flowerhead by Little Claire Designs (picked up at the NEC). The veins of the flowers were drawn over with a Quickie Glue Pen and sprinkled with ultra-fine Crystal glitter. Lovely effect, but will be wearing it (the glitter) for a couple of days - lol. The top two are my new passion - Hobby Art Scene It stamps. Such a relaxing way to pass a couple of hours. The little dotty things on the top left card are from Craftwork Cards - they look just like larger brads but a dab of silicone glue and hey presto - no holes - love them. Such an easy embellishment ....These last three are two from my Rubber Stamp Tapestry sets and the bottom one is a new Penny Black cutie stamp - Playtime.

That's all for now - don't want to bore everyone ....
