When we recieved our stamps for making samples I recieved the Music Fanfare which I love but with my Hubbys birthday around the corner thought the Art of Chess would be ideal for him.
This is an 8x8 card backed with paper. I cut out a square from acetate and used as a mask along the sides as a suggestion of a board. The chess pieces are stamped in black and brown and the edges are distressed. The centre image is stamped with Brilliance Tiramisu and clear embossed. I turned the ink pad as it isn't as big as the stamp. The shading around the sun is Antique Linen Distress Ink so the white of the palace stands out. I mounted onto brown and black then finished with a sentiment.
Keep popping back as there will be more inspiration coming from the Design Team.

Lovely card Debbie - that chess stamp set is a great one for men's cards. I like the colours you used
ReplyDeleteA fabulous male card, makes a change from fishing or football! I like the way you've added the large chess pieces at the sides.

Love your card Debbies and especially like the line colouring with the Tiramasu. Suexxx
ReplyDeleteYour turning of the inkpad that way round has worked beautifully with the perspective & really gives such an impression of depth to the whole. I love your use of blacks & browns with the whites & creams. Quite striking.

I love this card. When I first saw these stamps I didn't think I would use them very much. Then I remembered my sister plays chess & her birthday is next month - perfick!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for men's cards - they are so difficult
