Sarn's Digital Birthday Card!

Yo ho all you  little Bloggers...
My friend Sandra has started to design her own range of Digital Stamps.. Why?... because she is amazingly, wonderfully talented.
Plus lovely with it!
Go buy some... here is a link to her site....Stamping for Pleasure.
Today is her Birthday ( I hope! brain like a sieve, me..... always getting dates wrong! )  So I just had to make a card for her using one of her super images. 
So quick and easy to do very difficult and time consuming to do.
I printed off the image onto some Lavinia Matt Card stock and got going with the White Wax Crayon Technique .. How to here.
Mat and layered onto more cardstock.. Job done for a special lady.

Have a good day Sarn.

Memory Box Stencil And Gilding Flakes.


Hello again! The card I'm sharing today was created using the Honeycomb Stencil from Memory Box.
My stencil came from a local craft shop, Oyster Stamps
Apply Versamark ink, with a sponge, through the stencil.
Remove the stencil and plonk it into some water.  


Apply Mica Boss powder to the image, its like an embossing powder. Heat it with a heat gun, it goes very sticky, add the gilding flakes to cover the image. Burnish gently, I used a clean,dry stencil brush.
Tip the excess flakes back into your container.
A few Quickutz die cuts and job done.
Thanks for looking today
