To Die For! Yes, that's the new Challenge at Fashionable Stamping Challenges, and we would love to see either Diecuts or Punches on your creations, and don't forget our lovely sponsor, Marina of Cottage Crafts is offering the lucky winner a €7 Gift voucher to spend in her online shop.
For my card, I have used this lovely image from Rubber Stampeed which is a recent EBay purchase. I have coveted this stamp for a long time, not knowing the name until my DT sister Yvonne used it a few weeks ago and gave me the info( thanks Yvonne) - and after a quick search on EB - there it was just waiting for me!
The image was stamped and given just a light shading with Tattered Rose DI and used the ink and a waterbrush to paint her lips. The sentiment is Tim Holtz. My Diecut frame was distressed with the same ink.
The papers are Prima Botanical (free with a recent mag). Flowers TH Tattered floral die, and distressed with Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet, and a Marianne Swirl.
I hope you will join us and if you need any inspirations, please pop over here and see the fabulous creations from the rest of the DT.
This is a scheduled post, and hopefully I am enjoying some much needed sunshine, something lacking in the UK lately. I hope you are all safe and the weather isn't too unkind to you.
Thanks for looking.
Avril
