This is my entry for the 'Use your Stash' challenge. Although the background stamps are old favourites, I had not used the main image by Paperartsy. It seems that whenever I buy a sheet of stamps, there is always one I find a bit challenging. This card is my first commission! I hope the recipient likes it!
This is straight lift from Nancy Curry's book "Texture Effects in Rubber Stamping", as I was a little short of time and inspiration this week. The technique is called 'Bargello', after the embroidery technique. I also used the faux batik technique, as it's one of my favourites at the mo. Stamps from Aud design, inks are versacolour and whispers.
Stamps: Aud's Design (Cat & House sheet).
Inks: Starry, Starry Night Whispers Dye Ink. Also used Sakura Gelly Roll in Green and Clear.
This is a birthday card I made for a family friend. It's their Birthday next weekend and I will be heading South for the Birthday party. This means I have a short week next week as I have Friday off to travel down as the Party is on Saturday. So a three day working week next week- I could get used to that!
OK, here goes: the first Colour Challenge on the UK Stampers board! To start off, we are going to use Red, White & Green, however, one little rule - no Christmas cards. This is not a colour combination that we tend to use very much so that is why I thought it was a nice challenge to start with! Think Italian flag, Portuguese flag, Cherries, houses, blood (if you want to go Gothic) scenery, Football team colours, Folk Art, Clowns, etc. I am sure that you can think of far more than just these ideas. You can use other colours in your composition, but the predominant colours must be Red, White & Green.
