Caught in Crystal
Hey Bloggers! Today I would like to share a card I made using the Enchanted Trees stamp set. This is quite a ‘clean’ card for me but I wanted to show how versatile these stamps can be whether you like grunge/vintage or more of an elegant look.
I started off with a technique which Sue Wilson taught me a few years ago called ‘Caught in Crystal’. You can find Sue’s tutorial on how to create this on her blog HERE. It is a technique which requires Clear Crystal Lacquer Alcohol Inks, White Tissue Paper, Heat proof Acetate and Mica Powders. Once my caught in crystal piece was dry (over night) I then used a scallop punch to create a border on the top and bottom. I then stamped the phrase ‘Enchanted Souls’ and the two flourishes in Clear Perfect Medium and Embossed in Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail embossing powder.
I created another scallop layer in some Tan coloured cardstock and stamped the Leaf stamp randomly around the edge in Distress Ink. I then mounted everything on to some Milk Cardstock and stamped and embossed the small tree in the bottom right hand corner. To finish I pierced the edges using the Piercing Ruler and layered with more cardstock colours.
I hope you like today’s simple card.
All for now, S@m c

New Tree and Owl Stamps
Hey Bloggers! I can finally reveal my newest stamp designs. I have two new A5 stamp sets called ‘Enchanted Trees’ and ‘Wise Friend’. As you can see they are all woodland themed, with matching A6 background stamps ‘Tree Bark’ and ‘Feathers’. I hope to have stock of these in a few days time.
I can’t say I have really designed trees before so I wanted to put my own spin on them by using the typical Sam newsprint texture..Yes I am pretty obsessed with this texture on my stamps lol Mr Owl was another collage of images using clock faces as his eyes and then a pair of vintage scissors for his beak.
I have made two quick cards to show my new designs to give you some ideas. Let me know what you think?!
