Been spending a bit of time making cards this last couple of weeks while on holiday from City & Guilds Digital Photography course. Here's one I made from some scraps of felt, heavily inspired by a card by Kristina Werner in the gallery over at 2 peas in a bucket. This U.S. based website is FANTASTIC, always really inspiring for cards, scrapbook pages and digital scrapping supplies. Plus, they are running several FREE monthly classes for the whole of this year in celebration of their 10th anniversary.
Anyway, here's my version of Kristina's card:
Last Sunday I treated myself to a day out at the Big Stamp & Scrapbooking Show at Alexandra Palace and did some SERIOUS stash shopping! In the last couple of weeks I have become a little obsessed with stamping and I was very keen to find some particular stamps by Hero Arts. I didn't manage to find everything I wanted but I was inspired to buy some gorgeous spiky flower stamps by Tracey Dutton at Lavinia Stamps. What Tracey can do with a brayer, a few stamps and some inks is utterly awesome!
Anyway, for what it's worth, here are a few of my first attempts at using spiky flower stamps. I envisage lots of fun using these in different ways!
Finally, I bought the Cuttlebug cut & emboss Butterflies set a few weeks ago. Haven't used it much yet but I love it! Used the script embossing folder on this green butterfly and added it to a square white card covered in pink lace cardstock by KI Memories. Added a few sparkly gems to some of the flowers. Think it still needs something to finish it off, but not sure what at the moment.
Looking at these three photos I think I can safely say I don't have such thing as a signature style just yet.
