Hello Friends
This is a scheduled post, I am out of action for a few days so I apologise if I do not
get around to visit you in that time.
I was delighted to be asked to be a Guest Designer over on the Craft Stamper blog during their
latest Challenge which is Take A Stamp - Anything Goes, you can find the details of the
Challenge HERE. Thank you Craft Stamper for this opportunity.
I decided to use two of my new stamp sets from Tim Holtz - Dapper and also Halftone & Rings for my creation.
It was quite a simple card to create, simply inking the background with Peacock Feathers and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, spritz and flicking water and stamping. The bow tie is decoupaged to make it stand out a little more and I added Idea-ology cogs. A great card for a man I think.
Thanks again to Craft Stamper and thanks to those of you who visit, hope to
catch up with you again soon.
