Super Stamps

I was given lots of super stamps for Christmas. Here are some of the cards I've made using them. The background on the celebrate card was produced using a peel off sticker and sponging with bright coloured ink.


All these motifs were embossed after stamping. Holographic embossing powders give a subtle sparkle while shiny black looks elegant on the Rennie Mackintosh inspired card. Water colour pencils enhance details.

Open Road

Spirelli is the technique of winding thread around a jagged edged shape to create a border. Here the gold thread contrasts beautifully with the red card and draws the eye towards the desirable car. The black and white paper gives the impression of the open road and leaving traffic jams behind!

Bon Voyage

Perfect for anyone going off on their travels, this card is a lovely parting gift. The background, carefully selected to show the destination of the recipiant is made from an old road map - recycling can be very useful when card making!
