Happy Saturday
Last week I posted some cards using my new supplies received at Christmas and the wonderful Darnell pointed out that I didn't share them on her NBUS #34 January challenge. I didn't really have an answer except that I often get in a muddle finding and linking to challenges, but that is no excuse, so here I am today to add one of my humble creations to the gallery before it closes.
I have a soft spot for turnabout stamps and my collection is growing. I can't really explain it because they can be very frustrating to use, but I do love the look you can create with them. This is my newest and is the Wreath turnabout by Concord & 9th. This set actually has 2 different turnabouts included. I have used them both but you will have to wait to see the second one.
I surprised myself with this card as it is quite busy, but I am pleased with it. I like the bold colours and the purple and white contrast. I hope you like it too. The white panel has been embossed with a Spellbinders texture plate called diamond opulence.
The white diecuts are the coordinating dies for the Harvest Wreath turnabout stamp set, but they coordinate well with this set too.
Before I sign off today I just thought I would share this card that I made with a wonderful Woodware butterfly stamp following this post. I said I would have a go at highlighting the flowers on the butterflies wings by using watercolour pens direct to stamp. At my second attempt, I gave up with the pens and used a couple of CP ink pads, I made this card:
Editing this post in order to share this card at Dutch Card Lovers #355 where they are asking us to use a resist technique. Thanks to GerJanne for pointing it out to me and for assuring me that it is not too late to link up. I think this will be my first entry at this challenge. I hope there will be many more.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.
