More CAS Male Cards

By
Good afternoon. Well dad is out of hospital hence the missed blog post yesterday and I am also exhausted - can't keep my eyes open so I think a trip to the doctors may be on the cards.

I have made some more card though - very similar to the previous ones but with a different kind of background.
The first set of cards I made HERE used a fabulous little background stamp that looked like a water coloured brush stroke but it occurred to me that not everyone has a stamp like this and what could you do if that was the case.
Here's what I came up with





The backgrounds were made by inking up various sized acrylic blocks and spritzing them with water before stamping them onto card stock.
The images were then stamped over the background with a Stazon ink.
If you pop over to my other blog HERE -  you will be able to see a quick tutorial on how I did this.
Thanks for stopping by today - see you soon xx

    Really clever technique- just the inspiration I need as I have this stamp set and it is somewhat under-used. Thank you!!! Rebecca x

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 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
