Good morning Blogworld
More long absences from Blogworld, can't account for it really other than I had DT makes to do, which I obviously can't share yet, and just life generally getting in the way.
I've also got a Birthday card to make for one of TTT's friends - whose turning 15! - and that's going to be a difficult one to pass Quality Control! So might still be a bit quiet in old Blogworld, at least until the DT make is shared.
This is the only card I made, and can share, this week - another Clean and Simple that gave me serious thoughts about what I could do. In a way I like the brain ache that comes with CaS it exercises the old grey matter!
She's a really old stamp - one of the first I brought from Stamping Bella, and as much as I like the stamps they do now (and I really do, you should see how many I have) I still love the original stick girls!
Supplies I used:
Rubber stamps:
Image:
Stamping Bella - savvyshopperbella
coloured with Copics
Sentiment:
Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips - Birthday
Dies:
Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips - Well Rounded
My Favorite Things - Die-namics: A2 Stitch Rectangles STAX set
Anything else:
Honey Bee stamps - Hexagon Layering stencil
Tim Holtz - Distress Ink
What I did:
Stamped and coloured in, with Copics, Savvyshopperbella on Copic friendly paper, then fussy cut her out.
Found a scrap of card, same as the card blank, which is slightly textured, and inked through the stencil with my Distress Ink then die-cut it out.
Added 3d foam to the back of the image, popped that onto the inked panel. Added 3d foam to the back of the inked panel and popped all the layers onto the card front.
Stamped and die-cut out the sentiment.
Added 3d foam to the sentiment and popped that onto the card front underneath the main panel.
et voila, job done!
Also, while I'm here, I thought I'd mention that TTT is teaching me how to take better selfies and a walk / jog / roller skate on the Prom yesterday evening presented a lovely opportunity for more practicing. So being totally self-indulgent (even more than normal!) here's me and TTT (aka The Troublesome Teen - aka Emily!!).
That's it for now folks,
Signing off,
Sarah
