Good morning, Claire here with a card made using the lovely Babushka stamps. I do like to add lots of ribbon and embellishments to cards but with the cost of postage I'm trying to make some 'flat' cards which are more economical to post.
I began with a background from my stash, This one was made using the 'Shaving Foam' technique and acrylic inks. I love this technique but it's rather messy so I tend make a batch of lots of backgrounds to make the mess worth while. I stamped the two Babushka images and masked them to add the background stamps. I coloured them with pencils and stamped the greeting (from Birthday Words) with Black Archival ink. I've simply matted the image on black card and added some faux stitching with a black fineliner pen.
Thanks for visiting today,
Claire xx

ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to try the shaving foam technique as the background is so pretty Claire and the buildings with the added dolls in the foreground work beautifully. x
