Playtime....

 

Sometimes I need a thank you card, and flowers and cute just don't really work if it's for a guy.  So I had a play and made up something a little different.  

This is the Scots Pine stamp from Art-Kure, and I've heat embossed using a green ink pad and clear embossing powder.  This allowed me to add a background with distress inks, using the negative cut-out from a Spellbinders die as a stencil.

Otherwise, just some washi tapes, a sentiment, a few black gemstones and some doodling using a black marker.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope life is treating you good.

Well, it's that time again....for another challenge at Charisma Cardz.  Nice and easy, we are looking for cards with a Clean And Simple style.  So today, there's no colouring on my card....just some stamping and some stenciling.

This is a new stamp that I've added to my collection (Scots Pine), and it has such lovely detail.  No ribbons or embellishments, just a stenciled border for a bit of added interest and a pretty sentiment.  I think I'll have to do more of these....really CAS!
