Here are a few more cards which I haven't posted about. Above is one for a friend who appreciates animals and...
... a pun or two...or more. I really like the stamp set I used here, which is by Josh Griffiths' Beyond Stamping range. His animal stamps are so cute.
I added a final pun on the back!
This one was for a friend who really likes the slowing drawing patterns I make.
This was for my niece and I tried out a stamp which had lots of images on it, by Lynne Perella for Paper Artsy. Lynne Perella's stamps are full of collaged images and detail.
A ruby wedding anniversary card for one of my sisters.
A card for my mum-in-law's birthday, with a die cut heart which I watercoloured.
Another friend's birthday and some lino cut stamps from Clarity Crafts, again watercoloured.
Here are the new stencils I treated myself to. I like the retro feel and I think these geometric patterns will work well, especially for men's cards, which are always trickier.
They are rotating stencils, which means you apply the first colour, then rotate 90 degrees and apply the second and so on until you have the four colours.
This one is my favourite so I tried it first.
This is what it looked like once I had finished applying the inks and then it became this...
I really enjoy making cards and getting inspiration from others. There are so many talented people who generously share their skills and ideas. (The only trouble with this hobby is that there are too many lovely stamps, stencils and dies out there and news ones coming all the time!)
