Your Times Up!!!

Well sad news for me today, My time is up with the Stamp Addicts Design Team, I have been working with them for a whole year. How that time has flown by....
I have had great fun and enjoyed all of the stamps.....
But unfortuneatly my time is now up, so with a fond farewell I must say addios..... lol
Good luck to the new designers taking my place and hope they enjoy the challenges as much as I did...
Well its off to pastures new for me........ what will come next????

Don't you just love Tilda & Co.

I love these magnolia stamps and must admit I am hooked on these lovely images, I just love matching the colours with what ever papers you have in your stash and adding matching embellishments

The cards always go down well with my customers and its nice that they bring out new designs regularly so we can keep adding to our collections......
Hope you like the cards I have made in the last couple of days x

Woodland Scenes @ The Rubber Stamp Gallery

As Halloween is coming up I came across some woodland stamps which I think will make some great cards for Halloween as well as Autumnal cards ect....

The stamps are from the The Rubber Stamp Gallery

Woodland Scenes ... Judes got 2 on her site, woodland 1 and woodland 2 as featured in this months Craft Stamper Magazine. (November issue.) here's a card & some background ATC's I made using these stamps.... They are great detail and would make very interesting Halloween Cards.........what do you think

I've used the Acrylic Dabbers to give the really intense black and then added Distress inks to the background once it has dried. you could of course make your background colour first and then stamp over the top
check out the web site for lots of original stamps made by the artist.....
