Hullo there everyone!! Years ago now I bought some digi images from Chris Dark, the Sketching Stamper - she does not seem to sell them now, which is a great shame ~ her blog is here. Here is one of the images ~ Bluebell digi I bought.
She does have clear stamps of this image from "There You Go Stamps". I bought the set, and they are so VERY disappointingly small, so tend to use digi image anyway! Be good for atc's.

I had this image printed for ages now, so made quick card up on white deckle card, single mount style: Forever Friends Petal embossing folders, ribbon with pearls. Coloured with Tombow watercolour markers, mixture of PanPastels and ink on die cuts.
My rule for just trying things with PanPastels is still going just fine ~ have yet to find something with which you can't mix with them when colouring! :D

Second card was an order for an 80th birthday, husband and wife, a day apart, so not too masculine, or to too feminine. Stamped disc. Bible verse stamp as requested and had this one done on vellum and card.
I love this verse in Isaiah, a wonderful book in OT which am reading through now.
.."the LORD is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation." 12:22
What a great birthday verse ~ to have the promise of God singing in our heart, to carry us through when feeling down. His promise to those who are His, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee".
Coloured the back of vellum, adhered to frame of Spellbinder labels 4, layered on scrap of DP Kaisercraft, cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities Cutting Dies Scalloped Labels 1. Embossing folder is in CB Oriental set - basket weave. CB Olivia die for 80, and EK Success Arrow Border Punch, with ribbon. SU punches for stamped greeting.

Shaz,
ReplyDeleteThe bluebells are so natural looking and the birthday card is wonderfully layered and embossed. The scripture is a favorite of mine.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful artwork with us at WAW.

ReplyDeleteThe bluebell card is so lovely.
You really did a great job on the male/female 80th birthday are.
Such a lovely verse too.

Both very pretty Shaz, but as you will probably guess it's the first that is my fav - which would fit our themes at Allsorts and stamping sensation.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good weekend.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blue bell image and a shame that it is no longer available. The second card is a perfect choice for both male and female.A lovely combination and a lovely verse. Hugs Mrs A.

Lovely cards Shaz, love the pretty bluebells. The embossing is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour 2nd card looks perfect for either a male or female, with the comforting verse :) Cathy x
Two very different but equally delightful cards Shaz. Those flowers are so pretty and it looks like a double mount they are on. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well.
Love

Two fabulous cards Shaz! The post arrived here - wahoo! Thank you soooo much, am off to another funeral this week (staying overnight) so might not be emailing much but wanted you say how lovely of you, mwah!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Di xx
Two very beautiful cards. Loved your digi one, such a pretty layout to enhance this floral image. Also loved your 80th, what a perfect verse to go with this occasion. The recipients will love it too. Always enjoy seeing how you use vellum so creatively. I've only tried out the P.Pastels once, on my rose & then I sprayed it which totally covered the PP shading!!! TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, I love the bluebell image. Thank you for joining us at Challenges 4 Everybody.
