another distressed one!!!

As soon as i saw this stamp set from Sugar and Spice, i had to have them, they are just so pretty! Love the flower, altho i think its a dandelion isnt it? Anyway, the stamp set was the inspiration, remembered i had a cuttlebug embossing folder with similar flower so thats the background, stamped all over a plain piece of card the leaves from the set and yes it was all distressed! but i do like how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon?
Take care

Scrapbook Layout

I don't often do scrapbook layouts, but i absolutely love these images and had to do a double page spread with them for my post on the Sugar and Spice Design Team for last month. Using a pink page that already had a slight pattern on, i used some masks, which i then inked around and then went round with a white pen to add stitching (and yes it took ages!) used some pearly doodles to add some accents. Inked around the photo which i used punches to make a pretty edge that i mounted the pictures on. The sentiments were from the Scribble Flowers stamp set, which i just love. I glittered the petals and added gem in centre to finish off, and must admit.... im kind of liking scrapbooking, so may have to make alot more pages.

This shot shows a close up of the stitching detail.

First of 3 scrapbook pages


I just love this image of my daughter and my husband. She was only about 3 years old, but she was just so angelic but cheeky! I love the fact that the images are black and white too, so designed the scrapbook page around that.
I used black scrapbook paper and stamped the images onto that, and coloured the leaves and flowers in with silver letraset marker and then added touch of glitter glue to the centres, used nestabilities flower die for the 2 larger flowers and added text i made from Word, then stamped all over that and cut it all out, added a few diamondy embellishments and thought it looked fab!
The stamps i used were build a swirl by Prima marketing, and they are massive! but gorgeous!

Another stamped card...


This card i made using completey stamped images too, the one on the right is the inside! I used various stamps, Personal impressions clear stamps, Kaiser scrapbook stamps, papermania clear stamps and clear stamps by Sugar and spice. Tim Holtz inks and stamping up inks for the colours as well as letraset markers to colour.

Stamped flowers


This card i made with Rhonna Farrer clear stamps - flower stamps. I bought these from Sugar and Spice, which is becoming one of my fav shops for shopping, Marion is fab and so helpful and friendly.
I stamped the images and coloured them using letraset permanent markers, added some glitter glue to the flowers and stamped the words, used some Tim Holtz ink to add a bit of edge effect, bit of ribbon and voila!
Im pleased with how it turned out, considering it was entirely stamping.
