Good Morning

I hope the sun is shining for you today.

My card for today is made using the new stamps from Hobby Art called British Countryside:

This is a lovely set of stamps.  You get so many on the sheet and I've used just 4 for my card.

I stamped the images onto Watercolour Card using Versafine ink.  I think these images lend themselves so well to watercolouring.  I used a Darice embossing folder from Crafters Companion and Core'dinations card. I sanded it very slightly.  I trimmed down the image to fit in the embossed frame and then matted this onto black card.  I made a card blank from pearlescent card from PaperMill and matted the image onto this.

It took me all my time not to add any embellishments to this card, but decided to leave it 'as is' so as not to detract too much from the image, also, I made this as a 'male' card so that decided it too!

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Paintbox Poppets

Good Evening

I was lucky enough to win one of the Paintbox Poppets cd-roms from Crafters Companion.   This is my first card made using this fabulous cd.  The images on it are so beautiful as are the backing papers.

This image is from the framed cards section.  As you can see, I didn't make up the frame but did make up the decoupage.  It is printed onto a glossy photo paper.  I added peel offs to the frame.

I printed off one of the backing paper onto satin finish printer paper.  I die cut various shapes using Spellbinders Persian Motifs and Accents from pearlescent paper.  I went over all the shapes with Tattered Rose and Faded Jeans Distress inks to tie-in the colours.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
