Stamped Duo

Hi Crafty Friends

Last week's stamping was a lot of fun, so we carried on with more stamping this week. At this time, flat post-able cards are what we need!

We did two cards. The first was really quick, just two stamps, and a sentiment - no masking, no nothing really. The image and the background are both by Inkylicious. We stamped the scene first and then stamped the background several times in various colours, trying to keep the ink out of the centre. Some people have added glitter to theirs which makes it pop more.

I got the idea for this one off a blog, which sadly I have been unable to find since. A great pity as I would like to have checked back for more ideas. I know the original used some lovely patterned paper, but I thought we could do our own background. We used a template to line up the 2 papers so the images aligned. I love this majestic stag (I think he was free with a magazine). We coloured over the stamping with pencils. Another pretty quick card.

I also took along the kit from last week and some people caught up with the bits they had missed out on, so everyone was very busy - the Christmas card pile mounts!

happy crafting
