Pretty bird cage

The bird on a branch stamp ( Papermainia 'Henbury Lane set), was coloured using brush marker pens directly onto the stamp and stamped onto a smooth white card. Then I used blue chalk to dust over the background of the image. Then using the birdcage stamp (Dimension Fourth) I used Versamark and gold embossing powder (Sheena's Wow Powder). The background papers were from a 'Magnolia' pad from My Minds Eye.

Cute cards

This weekend I finally got the chance to have a play with some of my cute stamps. The top two cards were made from my recent purchase S.W.A.L.K stamps and CD from Crafters Companion. I think these stamps are gorgeous and lend themselves to many different occasions.

The little boy is from a series of stamps from Olivers Orchard, Buzzcraft.

On these images I have used Promarkers and watercolour pens. The edges of the die cut backgrounds have been coloured using distress inks.
