Embossed Resist Card

By
Good afternoon - hope everyone is having a great weekend.
I did some cards earlier in the week using some of my own designed stamps. I have been playing with them again today but instead of using the brayer I have been using embossing powders.
This card was first stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then used the direct to paper technique and covered the card stock with Desert Sand Memento ink - I also used some Rich Cocoa too. I then ironed over the piece with a hot iron  - I covered it first with a piece of copy paper. (hee hee - I do more 'ironing' in my craft room than any where else!) More images were stamped on to the card stock this time just using inks.
The bees are more of my K&Co Grand Adhesions and blend in quite nicely with this colour scheme don't you think?
I am now happily playing with my embossing powders and pastel inks. Don't forget that a link to my web site and all my stamps is up in the top tab bar - see you later - Jacqueline xx

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
