Hi Everybody,Sunday was Formula One day and so while Griff was watching that I was up in the craftroom playing with stamps.
I don't profess to be a stamper and I am not very good at it.
But this was the effort I produced with some Sheena Douglass stamps I have had for quite some time and have never used ... shame on me !!
They are from some of her Little Bit Sketchy Collections and they are quite big
The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed first and the background added after. I stamped the big flowers and colored them with Distress Inks and inked the edges
Then I fussy cut them out and added glaze to the top to make them shine and once dry I have layered them up.
Ribbon was wrapped around the top and the whole panel was matted onto some deep rose pink card. The base card is matted and layered with some patterned paper onto more of the rose card.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
This is lovely ! You say you don't profess to be a stamper but have produced an absolutely lovely stamped card - your talents must be endless !!

ReplyDeleteDear Christina Could you explain what fussy cut means, I have seen this many times but not sure what it means. Love the card.
ReplyDeleteWell Christina, for someone who says they aren't a 'stamper', you've done a beautiful job. I don't do a lot of stamping either but I'm trying to improve my skills. haha!

Good morning Christina, the card is beautiful, I used to do a lot of stamping, but tend to use the dies more now, though stamping and colouring is very theraputic. It is a lovely card thank you for sharing with us xx
ReplyDeleteDorothy
I love stamping, and your card is lovely! I like to stamp and then use the dies to cut the shape out, but fussy cuts are so beautiful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful card, Christina, and especially like the layering paper and card co-ordination. xx
ReplyDeletePretty card! I like the flower.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina :) "Not very good at it". Seriously! I think you have a Blog full of followers who would beg to differ! This stamped card that you've created is gorgeous! I love it!! You've stamped it and put your "Christina Touch" to it and made it beautiful. And I always love it when you try something a little out of your comfort zone. When you grow from it, so do we! I would love to see some more stamped cards and perhaps a video. Thank you sooooo much for sharing this card and technique today; and for all you do for us. Enjoy a beautiful day. Big Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous card! Pretty papers, embellishments and love the flower:)

ReplyDeleteI love coloring stamps. This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina. Wow, well done you!! You have done a grand job. Wish I had the patience to stamp!! I am useless in that department. Hope you had a good day. Hugs. Jan. x
ReplyDeleteStriking..such a pretty card. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stamping and love the shaping of the flower!
ReplyDeleteChristina, for someone who doesn't stamp you've made a truly wonderful card today. x

A really pretty card Christina. I can't believe that you're not a stamper! Pat x
ReplyDeleteHi. Christina, well you have done a great job on this card Christina, the stamping is first class, I love stamping and have so many of them but never have been very good at it, I'll give it another try and hope it will be half as good as yours. The card is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteRegards Liz.
I haven't much to say except this card is "PERFECT". Colours are lovely and you did a beautiful job stamping. Dianne
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! LOVE all of Sheena's stamps! TFS!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I am so glad u made this card. I don't know much about stamping however want to. I look up things on you tube. You must know the right ink and the right paper. :) nice to do something different. ~blessings, Louise
ReplyDeleteI really LOVE this card Christina, so very pretty and so different from the kind you usually make! The colours a fab and I love that idea of glazing the flower sections before layering them up, brilliant and an idea that I shall be using on my next card with hand made flowers! TFS!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, my Granddaughter hit the enter key before I finished my message .... so sorry about that! I was going to say, I also have quite a lot of Sheena Douglass stamps that I have yet to use, and I have had them for ages! So now, perhaps I shall actually get around to using some soon! lol!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I too am not really into stamping, sentiments yes, but big floral stamps, etc, no, as I am not really into colouring, but Christina I think you have done a brilliant job here, it is a beautiful card....luv Ursula xx
