Yesterday I was joined by Helen and Lei for a day of stamping. With just the three of us, we spread out a bit.... look at all the creativity going on... between the three of us we made over 15 cards. And I finished off another one today.
Most of what I did was for upcoming design work so can't share just yet. But I did borrow some of Lei stamps and made some cards.
I'm not sure who makes the stamp. (Could be Inkadinkado) I went for a very monochromatic look. I inked up the stamp with Hero Arts Charcoal ink and then added the Winnie and Walter sentiment stamps. Can you see where I had to fix a mistake?
This card was the other stamp of Lei's I borrowed. It is by a NZ company called Rubbadubbadoo. I had stamped it onto cream card and then cut with a Spellbinders die. Sponged with Antique Linen ink while it was still in the die. To make the outside layer, I drew around the outside of the die and hand cut. The background PP is from Rosie's Studio. The flowers are from Prima and the die cut leaves from a Cherry Lynn die. This is a for an upcoming birthday for a friend. I have made a little box envelope to put this in and will hand deliver when the time comes.
I had an awesome day with my friends. We did miss the others but as I had sent out the invite at short notice it was good to catch up with those that I could.
Hope your weekend was a great as mine was.
