Word Play by Sandra

Hello, I am sharing some of my cards from the May shows on Create and Craft.

These feature the wonderful Slim Word Strip 1 stamp set. 

This set contains 3 word strips and a solid background. Great for cards and journals alike.

My first card used the TRAVEL word strip.

I made a background using distress inks and then stamped the Dirigible  and Penny Farthing from Steampunkery.  Once it was all dry I masked the two stamped images with masking tissue.  I then  stamped the Slim Word Strip over the background, moving the strip so that different words could be seen over the card. I removed the masking tissue and layered onto a 7x5 base card.

For my second card I used the solid background stamp with Distress Inks which I spritzed with water before stamping onto watercolour card. I then stamped with the NATURE words. I used a die to cut out a slot and then used a couple of coins and some foam pads to attach the butterfly. I used foam pads to adhere the card to the base as it needs a bit of space for the butterfly "spinner" to work.  I loved seeing the butterfly spin around and was so glad to see it survived the post and worked on the TV too!

 Thanks for looking
