Natures Textures Hexagon - 2 Cards

Image
 Hello Papercrafters, I recently went to the Stamperama in Bridgwater, which is a show filled with stamp vendors. I bought lots of lovely things that I will show in another blog post.  One of the products I purchased was a stamp and stencil set by Angela Poole. It includes 2 stencils and a stamp set with a very arty style. For these two cards I used both stencils and lots of the stamps. Products: Angela Poole Natures Textures Hexagon Set Concord & 9th Paradise Dies Ranger Distress Matte Collage Paste Ranger Distress Oxide Inks : Wild Honey & Ground Espresso Versafine Claire Nocturne Ink Vintage Handwriting Paper   Process: I started this card by just having a play on an a4 piece of thin white cardstock.

  Hello Papercrafters,   How are we already half way into another week, this year is disappearing before I have chance to blink! I have been working on this cute little card, using products from my recent haul. If you would like to watch my crafty hauls, head over to my youtube channel.  This card is giving me retro 70's vibes, anyone else think so?   Products I used:  Simon Says Stamp Hello Die Concord & 9th Mod Turnabout Stamp Distress Oxide inks - Spiced Marmalade, Antique Linen, Peeled Paint and Faded Jeans Sentimentally Yours Charming Squares Die Set Zig Wink Of Stella Brush Pen       Method: The first step in making this card, was using the turnabout stamp, these are great fun and easy to use. I used my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform when using this stamp. First I stamped with Spice Marmalade, then wiped the stamp, rotated it 90 degrees and reinked with antique linen. After stamping that, I repeated the process with the other colours. ...

 Good Morning! I hope you are all well and staying safe. It's has been quite some time since I have been able to take part in this weekly tradition. I really have missed it. To take part, or join in aswell, head over to the Stamping ground here . On my desk today, there is a bit of a mixture going on. I'm mid way through a few things and don't have enough time in the day.  There is a canvas that I have recently tried acrylic pouring on. It's great fun! I'm also painting a picture frame for a project I've just started.  I have a collection of cut images in a heap aswell. These are from my Cricut machine and I am loving owning one of these finally. Most of these will be going on cards for my Halloween series.  Thank you for spending some of your day with me! Ellie x
