This is a quick post but I was really happy with a new home card I made this week for my friend Palo.
I stopped in to my local craft shop this week when I had half a day off and found this awesome stamp set:
I used the complicated house stamp to make the headline card using purple ink and grey paper so it wasn't too stark against the busy background. It was a beast. I think this is the 7th atempt? It's so complicated and getting even pressure to get a full image was a nightmare. So this has quickly become a special-occassion-only stamp.
The far left strip is embossed using a new Sizzix embossing folder I bought in a sale and the hot air balloon papers are from the steampunk Chronology set. I glittered these to give a bit of lift. And added the gold candies for the same reason.
I've not posted for a while as I've been so busy coloring in my KennyKs but expect more posts in the next few days as I've been starting to use them!
Love this card, it's amazing. I find that certain ink pads don't give me the coverage I need using larger stamps..so I hear your pain :) Cx
