Tree Dies from Impression Obsession - DIE217-E.
Please look at Laurie's smashing blog .. this is where I  found  the inspiration. Laurie was kind enough to allow me to make this card. Here is a link. Thanks Laurie x

I posted this card on Face book and had a few friends ask how I had cut the base circle card so it was hinged and stood up. I've taken a picture.

Just fold an A4 sheet of card stock in half and lay the Nestie Die down, cutting side up. Place the card stock on top, with the fold at the top and just cut, running it through your die cutting machine, allowing the die to show so it does not cut the 'hinge' area. I hope you can see what I mean.  Then I used more card to cut one complete circle and glued that on to the front of the card top so you cannot see the flat, hinged area.
Hope that makes sense.
Back soon  thanks for looking today.

Designs by Ryn Stamps, Darkroom Door Stamps and ... Brusho Paints.

Morning all you little Bloggers and Followers...thank you for popping over to my Blog today.
You will never guess the TWO Brusho Paint colours I've used for this card..... Black and Lemon! 
Here is how I made it....Sprinkle your Brusho Crystals onto your craft mat (NOT too many).. spritz with water so they mingle a little... then drag GLOSSY card-stock quickly through the paint.... let it dry and stamp with Black Archival Ink.......easy. This card is 8"x 8".

One Stamp and a White Ink Pen!

Oyster Stamps have Designs By Ryn Stamps in stock NOW and I'll be doing demonstrations using Ryn's Water Droplet Stamps and Brusho Paints at the Oyster Stamps Christmas Open Day on Sunday 23rd November Rochester, Kent.
Both of my Rochester, December Workshops will be featuring techniques using Brusho Paints .. bring out the gloves!
