Birthday card and Crafty Individuals

A very special friend of mine celebrates her birthday today and here’s the card I sent her.

I’ve used the interference inks again but this time over black embossing on black card.

The rest is painted with Neocolours.

Here’s a photo of the b/g – a bit blurred but it shows the effects of the green, blue and violet inks.

BLOG CANDY  I DECEMBER

Trees, trees and more trees…

I love trees and skies and have been playing a little with inks and stamps.  Sunsets at this time of year are particularly stunning and especially after a clear day such as those we’re having at the moment.

This one was made after watching one of the Stampscapes videos on You tube

… and aged poppies.

The poppies are a mask, not stamps –I love poppies but why do they lend themselves so well to ageing?

I used Brilliance inks and love the effect.  Here’s a close up of the crackle effect.

See you soon!
