Just thought I'd show a card using 2 IndigoBlu stamps that were in my crafty birthday goodies( I did make a wish list).
The background is the map, stamped 4 times with Memento Rich Cocoa and then inked with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo DI's. The main image is 'All Saints, again inked in Rich Cocoa and sponged with Tumbled Glass, Antique Linen and V.Photo.
I am making the most of a couple of hours 'me' time as Son, DD and DH are in the process of moving the last of her belongings from Preston. DD's boyfriend is getting off very lightly - he's on a Training Course for 2 days!
I am entering this card in:
Allsorts - Distressing
Shopping our Stash - Something New( 2 new stamps)
Tuesday Alchemy - Very Vintage
Make It Monday - Anything Goes
Totally Stampalicious - Texture
Crafting When We Can - Monochrome
Pile it On - Tag you're It
Sweet Stamping - Monochrome
That's it for now, but before I go I would like to say 'thank you' for all your lovely comments, especially when I am such a bad blogger at the moment. DD's Boyfriend moves up at the weekend and they both start their new jobs next week, so hopefully then my life will return to normal!
