I have been meaning to post this wonky picture for some time but then kept forgetting. Holly and I went up to Maroondah Park last year and took lots of photos of fungi ( my friend Christine will appreciate the subject matter) because we thought they were quite beautiful in their own way.
I love this stamp, I have had it for ages but it never fails to please ( me that is, you may not share my view) when it graces a card. It is one of the beautifully detailed stamps from the now defunct PSX, any of you who have been stamping for more that 6 years will have heard of them. Such a shame!
Here is a layout I did for Holly who has dreams of travel. Paris had been her ultimate destination for sometime. She loves the architecture and can't wait to capture it all on, I was going to say film but I suppose it should be card these days. The paper is another of the embossed white papers from Stampin Up and this time I have sponged with inks rather than using chalk.
This beautiful paper is from Graphic 45, I just love the design and colours.
I stamped the tag with a variety of word and alphabet stamps. The word Travel and the compass are both Cloud 9 rub ons.
I painted the chipboard in a variety of greens and blues and then added a touch of light grey to highlight the edges.
I bought the Mat Stack 1 stamp set and die from Paper Trey Ink and have been having a bit of a play with them. I love PTI stamps as their images are always so well made and stamp beautifully. The first one I have teamed up with Stampin Up inks and card stock, as well as cutting the flower with their scallop circle punch from the packing paper that they include in copious amounts when you receive your goodies. I saw the flower technique on Judy May's blog (see Just Judy Designs in Blogs I visit in the sidebar) some time back. The top layer is stamped with a PTI image and the large pearl brad is from Kaisercraft.
This card incorporates some old Daisy D paper.
