Three Artist Trading Cards.

Just a quick post to share three ATC's with you that I've made this morning.
The first one, on the left, is Distress Stains splattered onto an ATC Stamp-Board from Oak House Studios and the Eye stamp is from Red Lead.


The second, is also on an ATC Stamp-Board, with a background of rainbow colours created with Adirondack Inks, a Tim Holtz Stamp and Designs by Ryn Water Droplets Stamp.


My final sample is a ATC Canvas Board, again using Distress Stains, along with a Crealies small circles stencil and an Andy Skinner Stamp from The Artistic Stamper.

I've enjoyed playing today and thank you for popping over to my Blog.  
Please give ATC's a go 'cos they are so much fun.

Crealies New Patchwork Die No 1. Along With A Few Stencils.

Hello Everyone .. A quick post to share a few cards with you, created using some brand new Dies from Crealies called Patchwork Dies.


I'm featuring the Patchwork Number 1 set, along with a beautiful Poppy Stencil from Sweet Poppy Stencils and Hibiscus Flowers from Designs by Ryn.



All the images were coloured, through the stencils, using brightly coloured inks, then I applied some 'Sparkle Gel' from Imagination Crafts over the top, through the stencils. I removed the stencil and allowed the gel to dry.  More samples soon from the three other sets available direct from Crealies or Oyster Stamps in the UK.

Thanks for looking at my Blog today.

See you soon.
