I was inspired to get it out, and have a play, I have to admit that I didn't use the brayer, but used the sponging technique, and I am going to share this card idea tonight with the lovely Linda Kings Craft group, were I am demonstrating.
- If you believe it is summer, the sun will be out....as I glance out of the window the sun is sort of shinning, through the grey clouds!!
- If you believe in yourself you can make things happen..... over the week I have made more, new Stampin' Up! friends xx
- If you believe you have something enjoyable, to share........share it and spread the enjoyment.
Yes! they are broad and sweeping statements, but to me they are meaningful,
But what is your 'Just believe....?'
I hope you like the cards, I love having the 'Top note' die to use with my 'Big Shot'. the large fronds image, from the 'Just Believe' stamp set has been stamped in classic black and then the 2nd and 3rd impression used to add depth, I then inked each card panel, with a different in colour ink, the pop effect you get is very striking! to some I added the big sentiment and to others just the shorter sentiments from the same set, using the stamp-a-ma-jig....tools that work are a god send!!
The stunning 'is it blue or maybe purple' of 'Concord Crush' Ink.
'Peach Parfait' Ink....with a tempting warmness!
'Pear Pizzazz' Ink...that is 'ooo soooo' very lush!
'Blushing Bride' Ink.....that is both demure & striking!
And the fiery red of 'Poppy Parade' ink!
I have also included a couple of side views to show, the little cheating version of a easel card, I had created! it's nice to do something that looks a little different, to a square or rectangle card, without lots of hassle, the 'Top Note' die is a must have for this!
Looking forward to tonight, but if you can't host a workshop you can still order, 'Stampin' Up!' goodies from me email for more details: sally-johoughton@hotmail.co.uk
