Stamparatus Production Line Stamping

Hello and welcome.

I received two new stamps this week, very exciting.

The first one is All the good things, this is a Distinktive stamp set,
the distinctive stamp is very cool, with one stamp you get a image with depth and dimension, watch my video to see it in action.




As soon as I saw this lovely Koi stamp set I knew it was going to be in my basket!  I love it.

If you watch my video you will see I cut my stamp!
Very scary but as long as your careful I think it's fine. I know some people cannot bring themselves to do this. That's fine you can mask the sentiment before inking.

These are the stamp sets I used for this card, Waterfront was my other 'new' stamp set, this was out in last years Catalogue but I only just brought it.

Global Design Project #140


This weeks project is to case the designer, I have long been a fan of Brian Kings work so decided to have a go this week.

http://www.global-design-project.com/

There is also the added bonus of, drum roll please

How cool would that be, why don't you have a go too?

When I actually started trying to design my card I realised I was going to find it harder than expected, apparently I was in the mood for lot's of embellishments, I had three go's before I managed to get a clean and simple card.  I cased the layout and the clean & simple feel.

 



I made a mask for my rock and sea, I stamped a few times to make the rock, keep moving and turning your stamp for great texture.



I have used the Lilypad Lake new bundle, the sentiment is from Picture Perfect Birthday.



In case your interested here is my first try, still like it but not very clean and simple.

 
 
Don't forget to have a go or a look at Global Design Project.
