Well,
it is about time I moved into the computer room to do something... it
is has been heatwave here for last three days or four! So little
done that wasn't necessary... phew, praise God, for the cool change!
Bad
fires in some parts out west of NSW, so I'm praying for all those
hardworking farmers, who lost homes and stock and feed. So
heartbreaking. Pray for them!
First layers of greens going down - with mini Misti stamping the PB Bejeweled Used Distress inks and Tombow watercolour markers too, and spritzed them before stamping, very lightly. |
Flower: Base of DI Tumbled Glass, Tombow purple + Seedless Preserves DI |
After test run starting on card proper .. this as a very special card for my sister's birthday. I was using some very beautiful, but expensive linen card, from UK. Bought twenty sheets of it. As I used two on this card, will have to be selective in use, hence trial runs first. |
Added some script stamping over background (smudged off some of ink in certain spots) with SU French Script and Memento London Fog. Used Blue PanPastel for the edging highlight. |
Three toppers haven't been made up yet, as had to make other cards... here is finished card. Used Poppy Stamps Fancy Happy Birthday, triple mounted on it. |
EDIT: this card above was awarded a top five place over at Allsorts .. Wowee!! :D
May God bless each of you this day in all that you do - and thanks for popping over and saying hi - you bless my heart,

Both cards are beautiful...the hedgehog is a little sweetie and the colours you've used are lovely, so bright and cheerful. The floral card you made for your sister is outstanding, such beautiful stamps and stamping.

Saw your link on WAW and wanted to pop by and say your card is absolutely beautiful!!
Hello Shaz, gorgeous floral card, wonderfully coloured and I love your second bright and cheery card with the sweet image, Kate x
When learning about the misti for the first time I sort of knew that I'd probably need to get one too. I've waited, hoping I was wrong lol. but I think I'll get one next time I'm shopping craft things. It seems people are very happy with them, and I see the use of it for stamping with different colored inks. I must say I absolutely love your new flower stamp. And you've already made different looks with it. The blue one, the finished card, is very beautiful, great touch adding the script too and mounting onto several layers of panels. Simple beauty!
I have hear at the TV of the hot and the fires in Australia... So sorry!
Your linen cards are just pieces of art!!! Great flowers stamps, fabulous colours and the spritz of water really gives life to them!
Lovely hedgehog card, too, so colourful and sweet!
Two wonderful cards Shaw. The hedgehog is so cute and a bright and happy card. The PB floes are absolutely stunning. Great work. Barbxx
Two fabulous creation Shaz, especially love the first card, wonderful colours.

Great cards shaz. The one for your sister is so pretty. I can see how the Misti would be good for this layers type card.
I have a Misti but not tried it yet. Hopefully this week.
Second card is lovely...love Penny black cards!
Hi Shaz, I love the cards that you create with the stamps, I wish that I was clever like you.
I am sure that your sister will be thrilled with her very special birthday card.
Have a wonderful week.

Ooooh what beautiful cards Shaz - love the floral toppers, especially the finished card!! Those hedgehogs are gorgeous!!
Blessings

Such a beautiful card design!! Happy birthday to your sister. The flowers are gorgeous! The script background adds a nice charm!
Oh wow those flowers turned out just beautiful, I love the softness of the script with it and the finished card is just lovely, she will be so pleased to receive the lovely creations. That penny black stamp is just the cutest, I have a similar one of him running with an envelope and they just bring a smile to my face, love the coloring and fun papers to go with him :)
So sorry to hear about the fires, but good to hear you have a bit of a cool down now.
Gorgeous floral cards! I appreciated your in action demonstration of how you made the cards. That helps me better understand why someone would want a MISTI.

Shall, what a wonderful collection of cards. I need to try that Misto trick with a couple of stamps I have from Penny Black, the cards turned out so perfectly. I tried doing with markers and water but kept stuffing up. Love the hedgehog card, so many hedgehogs and cats and little people and and and
They are all perfectly done.
Oooo absolutely stunning and thanks for the tutorial too - after seeing it, i am seriously thinking about getting a Misti ;-) and thanks for joining us at Penny Black & More this month, Luv Sam x
