SOME CARDS THIS LAST WEEK

I am loving being back in the swing of my cardmaking and here are some I have made over the last week.

These first few are ones I made at a craft retreat where I went just for one night even though it was a 3 night retreat I could only go for one night :(


These two were made using the Fill In Blooms Stamp Set from Concord & 9th - have to admit that I struggled with the lining up of these stamps but I have made my peace with that now and I look forward to making more cards with this stamp set in the coming months. 

Turn about stamps - well, what an innovation they are!  I have been out of the stamping world for a long time and I have been blown away by how far stamps have come!  This is the Floral Turnabout stamp from Concord & 9th - so pretty and so quick to use to make a card!

Another play with distress oxide inkpads on glossy card and using distress glaze to remove the oxide - I looooove how this turned out.  I have this Aussie Camper die on it's way - great for male cards!


Some more backgrounds and this time with a fish scene die - the second card I made as shaker card - so much fun. I am enjoying making cards to put in my stash!

This is the last card for this post - I needed a card for a bloke I work with and I came across this card on Pinterest on a blog called Bobbiestreasure and I pretty much made it the same as hers but I just added a spanner - the link to her card is here http://bobbistreasure.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/shopping-our-stash-138-oh-shiny.html?spref=pi&m=1

DISTRESS OXIDE INKPADS - Penny Slider Card


I tried something different over the weekend with my Distress Oxide Inkpads that Tim Holtz recently did at Creativation. Using ‘alcohol ink glossy cardstock’ and applying Distress Glaze over the top of the background I had created with the distress oxide inkpads and it kind of removed the oxidisation and made the colours ‘pop’. I then decided to pull it into a ‘penny slider card’ using We R Memory Keepers Rolling Penny card die set. Tied it in with some silver holographic card and I’m pretty happy with how this came out - this is a birthday card for a work colleague - thanks for looking!😊
