Beccy's Place - Cottage Garden Clear Stamp Set

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? The schools are going back round here this week. This will make things a bit quieter when I go out for my walks. It is definitely starting to feel like Autumn now.

I was very lucky and Beccy sent me the Cottage Garden Clear Stamp set to make some samples with. This is available HERE.  Beccy does ship worldwide but there is also a  Digi set of these images available HERE. 

I started off by making lots of backgrounds using the smaller stamps and some Distress Oxides. For the main image on this card I embossed the stamp with gold embossing powder. Then I used Distress Oxides to paint the image this gave me more control over where the colours went. 

I used much the same method with this image. 

If you click on the logo you will be taken to the post featuring my cards. 

With this card I embossed the stamp with white embossing powder. I used the resist technique to colour the image. With the urn I lifted some of the colour with water to give a paler colour. 

Just a little card using one of the other stamps in the set. 

I also made a tag. The tag die set came from the works. 

Here are all my cards together. I do like these colours. I don't do much stamping now but I did enjoying getting inky and messy making these cards. 

Happy Crafting

Wedding Hearts

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you have had a great weekend. We went to Reading for our one night away which seemed rather silly but it worked out really well. We did some shopping, met our daughter and her fiancé, we had a nice meal together and saw a film. Then we split up and they did some more shopping and we came back to the hotel. Then today we had a leisurely morning before heading off to see both sets of parents and now we are home.

The card I am sharing today is one I was asked to make by a colleague at work for friends of hers who are getting married soon.

She saw a card on my blog with lots of hearts on it and she wanted a similar design but using the colours of the wedding: black, white and pink. She also wanted the words in the middle. I used my Sue Wilson Heart of Heart dies to make the hearts and the mats. I embossed the surrounding hearts with the Heart Lattice embossing folder. 

I typed the words on the computer and cut them out with the heart die. 

In this shot your can see a bit of the background. On the white mat I stamped the Clarity Stamp "All You Need is Love" stamp in CS Perfect Medium and the heat embossed it in white before inking round the edges. The black in the design was cut with a Tonic die I can't remember the name. The ribbon added a splash of darker pink.  

My colleague was very pleased with this card. 

I would like to enter Pixie's Snippets Playground - Week 219. 

Have a great week.  

Happy Crafting
