The Glittered Poppleberry

 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. I used both stencils with Distress Oxide ink in both Wild Honey and Ground Espresso. I applied the ink using a small finger dauber. I moved the stencils around to get a random effect across the page. Then I opened up the stamps, I selected a few of the small flower...

 Morning friends!  This morning I want to share this card with you. As with the last post, this background was made using a Gel press.  I cut a thin panel out of this background, I then embossed it using a Leaf vine die from Crafters Companion. I did this twice, so the panel was all embossed. I have this adorable stamp and coordinating die set from AlteNew called Snail mail. With my Distress Oxide inks, I stamped out the image in greens and oranges. Next die cut each cute envelope and stamped the heart image in black ink on the top flap, of the envelope image. I applied a generous amount of Glossy accents to each heart and left to dry overnight.  In the morning, using collall glue I mat and layered the panel to plain black card stock, then onto a white card base. Thank you for spending some of your day with me! Ellie x Products: Altenew snail mail stamp Glossy accents Distress oxide ink pads Versafine black ink

  Good Morning Crafty Friends!! So as many of you know I moved house as I mentioned in my last post, i finally have a basic craft room. It isn't complete by any means but its my space and I love it.  This year has been insane as it has been for many of you, so having a space to craft and step away is just what i needed. We also have a new addition to our little family, we have a lurcher pup who is now 13 weeks old. He is crazy but certainly brings many laughs which is well needed.  This is only a brief post to check in on you guys but fingers crossed these posts may become more regular now I have a pc set up in my craft space. Below is a picture of a card I made for my mothers birthday, its simple but nice and colourful.  Thank you for spending some of your day with me! Ellie x
