Happy November to you all.
Today is the start of a new challenge over at Country View Crafts. The theme for November is hand stamped - one of my favourite things to do! I was literally hooked when I started stamping.... and now my collection is huge!
Here is the first project for the challenge:
To create this card I made a Master Board. Regular followers will have seen me create these a lot. It is one of my favourite things to do.
I brayered PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylic Paints onto a sheet of card and then stencilled paint through a PaperArtsy Darcy Marshall stencil.
Once this was dry I stamped snowflakes using a Silver Encore ink pad.
Once everything was fully dry I cut the master board up and mounted them to pre-cut card blanks.
The Merry Misfits were stamped and coloured using alcohol ink pens. I then cut them out and inked around the edges and added googly eyes.
I just love these images - they are so much fun!
I added ribbon to finish the card, along with a sentiment.
I really loved the detail on the background. The silver sparkle from the snowflakes are perfect. It created just enough of Christmas bling!
Thank you for joining me today.
Please make sure you pop over to the country view crafts challenge blog to see the amazing inspiration from the other design team members. You can also join in with the challenge and be in with a chance of winning a gift voucher to spend in the shop.
Happy stamping!
