I have created a floral card, which could be for a friend's Birthday, or just to show that you care, using a sentiment from the brand new Punky Expressions stamp set which will be available on the website in the next few days.
I started to create my card by blending several colours of Distress Ink onto a piece of smooth Cartridge paper. I spritzed the background with water, to create a mottled effect, blotting the background here and there with a piece of tissue. I stamped the large script stamp from the Eccentric Edwardian stamp set over the background, using blue ink. On a spare piece of card, I stamped the small clock three times, and cut it out. I added a bit of yellow ink to age the images slightly.
I die cut some flowers from some Crafty Individuals paper, and scrunched them to give them a bit of texture and movement. To complete the flowers, I stamped three stems using an image from the Diamante Delights stamp set onto the background, and some leaves from the Bold Blooms stamp set onto some scrapbook paper, which I cut out. I added the clock faces to the centre of the paper flowers, and used some 3D foam behind the central flower.
Absolutely gutted that I missed the shows. Are they on utube as hochanda doesn't do catch up? Just love the new stamps and these cards are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteYou can watch the programmes on the Internet Christine, just search the Tv schedule: https://www.hochanda.com/TvSchedule and look for October 26/27 where you will find the last lot of shows that Lesley did. Hope this helps. Judith xx

Fabulous steampunk look! Love the flowers with the clock center!
ReplyDeleteI watched one of these shows have yet to watch the other one, so interesting to see the fabulous samples made by the design team, also great to see Lesley in action. Love your cards, such a clever way to make the centre of the flowers on the second card.
ReplyDeleteWow the contrast between them is uge...normaly I like bright colours, but this time my favorite is the first, soft one!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous cards, beautifully designed and coloured Kate x
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards Judith, and I love the soft colours of the pretty watch face flowers and then the second with the beautifully bright poppies and leaves and the softer sepia background with the watch faces, cogs and stencilling complements the flowers perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteYour cards are lovely Judith. I particularly like the first one, such a great idea and very pretty.
