Stamped Images

This time I have tried my hand at crafting using
stamps. I still have a lot of practicing to do!
I cut out two different sizes of scalloped circles,
the larger one on patterned paper and the
smaller one on white, the latter which I
stamped with a butterfly and gave it an extra
layer using card, and then put a matching colour
around the edges. I also glittered the
patterned paper around the edges with
dots. The sentiment I stamped and then heat
embossed it using clear embossing powder.
I used an embossing folder on the strip of
paper behind the sentiment and added ribbon.

Medallion Card

This card uses an image called 'Curly Flower Medallion' by
Tracey from 'Fred She Said'.  It was already coloured.  Do
visit Tracey's Website, there is a link on the right side of my
blog. This medallion was one of her freebies. I decoupaged
the medallion just a little, added a brad in the
middle and added some glitter and  rhinestones. I like to
use medallions because you can size them any size you
want and can make as many layers as you wish.

A New Card

Actually I have made a few cards lately but now I'd like
to show one I made using a picture of a rose and a
matching background that is from Cupcake Crafting.
I printed the picture and then cut a shape around it
and went around the edges of the shape with ink.
I also did a little decoupage on the flower, The
sentiment I made using a stamp I have.
As I also like using ribbon I put a piece behind
the flower and sentiment, but it can still be seen.

Tuesday Trio Challenge No.55

Here is a card that I made for the Tuesday Trio Challenge.
I have made hundreds of cards, but have never followed
a sketch before. Actually I think it is easier just to do
your own design as you go along!  This is a digi
image from Mami Doodles.  This card made Top 3
in the Tuesday Trio Challenge.

Time for More Digi Freebie Sentiments

Here are another couple of sentiments  - the wording
can be coloured (see example) - I have also included
a digi without a sentiment. I think they would look nice
as decoupaged flowers, but I haven't tried that out yet.

Enjoy!
