Simple Flower cards (posted by Claire)

Good morning, my project today is a set of little cards made using the beautiful new clear flower stamps, these stamps are so pretty they don't need a lot of embellishments.


I've stamped the images on kraft card and coloured the images with Derwent Coloursoft Pencils and matted them on some green card. Quick and easy little cards, perfect for saying thank you for all those Christmas pressies 

Thanks for visiting today

A Trio of Cornflowers (by Debbie)

In the middle of the rush towards the festive season, I have a card that reminds me of days walking through the fields during the Summer. It won't be long and the dark nights will start to get shorter. The flower single Clear Stamps are delightful to colour.
When I had stamped the Cornflower three times with Memento black, I did a search of Pinterest to find pictures of the flower, the colours are amazing. I coloured with alcohol pens, the same for all three then trimmed and mounted onto a blue card. I was a little stuck for a background as I didn't want it to be to fancy working against the flowers so I set too with the pens I'd used to colour the Cornflowers. With my glass matt and a ruler I drew lines with the fine tip of the pen creating a checked background. I started by drawing the darker blue at one centimetre intervals and five millimetres and then in between with the lighter blue and green pens. When finished I trimmed the background, added a sentiment and the stamped images, the centre flower is raised on foam pads.
Many thanks for visiting, Debbie.
