These cards are 4 x 4. I used a clear stamp for the silhouettes. I stamped in black archival ink and then added ink shading with Cut n Dry foam using a real mixture of Adirondack, Distress Ink and Eco Green dye inks. I added the sentiment from a set of Hero Arts stamps that I love. I mounted the stamped squares onto the black die cuts finishing off with tiny black pearls.
Tomorrow I am off to the Big Stamping Show at Ally Pally, I can't wait! I have a serious shopping list, but more importantly I will be with all my Craft Stamping Quartet friends. It will be the first time all four of us have been together in one place since we went on a crafty break together last June - I can't wait! If you are going - have a great day.

I can't wait to see you my friend! It will be a perfect day, because we'll all be together for a while, and we'll be able to go craft shopping, it doesn't get any better than that! I love this little image, it's so sweet, and it goes perfectly with the Nestie frame. Your coloured backgrounds are sublime as always. Judith xx

ReplyDeleteFab card, Elaine. You've just got to love those Nesties, haven't you? I have so many but still "need" so many & they keep bringing out new ones!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great day @ Ally Pally. My friend & I went yesterday & it was WONDERFUL!!! Spent far too much money, but hey-ho - there's no point in going if you've got to scrimp, eh? Just going to chill out today & look at (& maybe play with) my goodies.
bye for now, Liz M x
