Sunday Sketch & Stamp #29

My sister bought the DoCrafts goody bag over from the UK so I have been playing with the stamp and Henbury papers, using the Sunday Sketch & Stamp challenge as inspiration for the layout:

I stamped the image with ColorBox chalk ink from the 'Pumpkin Patch' queue stack - twice on white card and the flowers twice on the pink paper. I added colour by brushing 'Shabby Shutters' Distress Ink on to the leaves and cut round the image and layered that, then cut round the flowers and individual bud to make a flattened decoupage effect. Inked round the base of the image and stamped the text with the same chalk ink. Cut text with Spellbinders 'labels trio'; Border punch is by Martha Stewart. Inked other paper edges with ColorBox queue 'Rose Petals'.
2nd card using the same paper pack, purple peel-off and ribbon from the goody bag with MS border punch 'Botanical scallop' on a silver card blank:

Thanks for looking and your lovely comments - I do appreciate them :)

Sketch & Stamp # 23 - Vintage style

I've gone with a very vintage-looking card for the Sketch & Stamp challenge. I was inspired by the beautiful MME 'Bella' papers and Hampton Art stamps that I cut up and then mounted together. I embossed the images with black powder before inking and colouring with Distress Inks; apart from the text which is Adirondack Espresso. Vis ton rêve : Live your dream !

Cette carte, style 'vintage', suive le challenge # 23 chez Sketch & Stamp. J'adore les papiers de MME 'Bella' and ces tampons de Hampton Art. J'ai embossé les images avec la poudre noire et j'ai fait le coloriage avec les encres Distress. Le texte fût tamponné avec l'Adirondack Espresso. Vis ton rêve !
