CLARITY FEATHER CARD

I've made this card using a Clarity Feather Stamp which is so beautiful and elegant.  I just hope the card looks as elegant.  The background was stamped in a blue green ink then a Perfect Medium Ink applied to the stamp and then heat embossed using black embossing powder.  I was really happy with the end result, although if i was to do it again i would try to match the stamp on the label to the stamp in the background, so that it looked like a continuation of the stamp. Still I like it and it was really quick and simple to do.  One of the quickest cards I've made in a long time.

BIRTHDAY CARD FOR GRANDAD

Well it was my dads birthday and my son wanted me to make him a card.  He lives out in Spain but He always loved Lighthouses and Ive had this stamp a while now and i love painting so I just thought I'd paint the stamp first then just add the card around the finished picture.  I think it came out just right. Stamping, Painting, Scrap Booking are all things i love and at the moment i'm making a scrapbook for my dearest friend of how we met and the years ever after.  It's an ongoing project so when it's finished I'll add some of the pages on here.  Until then here's the Grandad Card to view.
