colleague Michelle mentioned that she likes to give people London cards and so I thought I woud give her a couple of London card options to add to her collection.
I have two stamps that work well - the headline is a Penny Black and the second is actually from a museum gift set (I think for children!).
The first card I colored using ProMarkers, I wanted a slightly watercolor effect so kept the variety to a minimum. I diecut the image and then diecut a red circle to give it more standout. The background paper is Papermania Apple & Cranberry set. I added a single candi and then left it at that. I decided not to add a greeting because I think it can work for any occasion.
Next I went more geographical and CAS. The stamp is a stylized Big Ben so I decided to go bold and geometric. I used a big greeting stamp that Claire gave me (i htink it's Papermania?) and then the border punch is Martha Stewart. I think the blue and yellow are both Hippie Chic by DCWV and the green is a basic stack from Michael's. Just a silver candi that looks like a brad - I kept the glitter and bling off as I think it has a more masculine feel.
Hoping my colleague likes them!
Great cards!! Fit the brief completely. Stamp is by Woodware. I love the snazzy colours on the Big Ben card..I agree most suitable for a man. I made a version I think you will like, I am using them for the new card swap group I am a part of and will be showing them tomorrow. Cx
