Just a quick card to show today for someone who is having a tough time ATM. I used pan pastels to colour the the stamp and added it to the background paper. I used the soggy loo roll method for the paper at the back of the central die cut LOL and tinted with versamagic inks.
(edit) a few of you asked what the soggy loo roll technique is and I've been googling trying to find a link to show you and of course I can't find one now, so I will try and explain.
Using about four sheets of folded loo roll, wet until soggy and place in an embossing folding (wrap some kitchen towel around your sandwich to absorb the excess water) and run through your die cutting machine, (obviously not an electronic one) and you get a chunky piece of handmade paper. Leave to dry and then spritz and ink to your hearts content!
Don't know if anyone elses Dog is as obsessed with carrots as mine. He has a carrot everyday and pesters like mad if we forget. He is back to his old pesty self and was determined to eat the snowmans nose, even though he is a real wuss when it comes to snow as he doesn't like getting his paws wet.

ReplyDeleteYou never fail to create beautiful, delicate cards. I am wondering if I need to look into Pan Pastels.
Oh your dog is adorable, although I am a softie when it comes to dogs. My nephew (he is a westie) is obsessed with food, he doesn't discriminate lol - although he draws the line at my Quorn!!!.
