New cards

I've been doing a few cards and thought I would show you. One of the stamp sets I put aside for me is the Stampendous Daisy Thanks clear stamp set. It's gorgeous and it really doesn't need a lot adding to it to make a very nice card.

I started off with a cream coloured card and stamped the Darkroom Door Flourish background stamp with embossing ink onto it. Sprinkle on gold embossing powder and heat it with a heat gun until it melts.

Ink up the Daisy from the Stampendous Daisy Thanks with  Archival Jet Black ink pad (it won't run if you use watercolour pens or pencils) and stamp onto either watercolour paper or thick cardstock.

Using Marvy Markers colour in the flowers in whatever shades you like. Stamp the saying in a black ink. I've used a gold leaf pen to go around the edges but you could use a gold ink pad. Attach with double sided tape to the base card.

These two cards were done using a Hero Art stamp that they've taken off the range recently which is such a shame as I've had it sitting in my stash for months and I've only just starting using it and realizing what a lovely stamp it is. Oh well I'll wait and see which of the new ones I have to have.

I've also done a couple of cards using the Wild Rose stamps but that's for next time.
