The rubber of the stamp was coloured with markers and spritzed before stamping on the canvas. I cut a piece from a sheet of multi-purpose adhesive to attach the canvas to my Naturals Ivory card base.
I actually made this little sentiment label for yesterday's card before realising that it wasn't the best colour for that one, but it works well for this little card. Can you see the scored line on the left of the canvas in this photo? I added that with my Simply Scored tool for an extra bit of interest.
Here's what you'll need to make this card
Stamps: Wetlands
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz, Summer Starfruit markers
Card stock: Naturals Ivory, scrap of very Vanilla card stock
Other: Canvas, square punch, Simply Scored
And as a special thank you for shopping with me, you'll receive a gift and handmade card when you place your first online order with me during September.
I never think of myself as being a technophobe or anything but the other day I was fiddling about with my ipod, muttering because I couldn't get something to work. My eldest son sighed, took the gadget from me, pressed a few buttons and handed it back. I giggled. "Honestly, look at me acting like an old lady!" I said, and then: "No wait - I AM an old lady!" and went off into paroxysms of laughter while my son stared at me in surprise.
See you tomorrow,
Another super card Vicky and this stamp looks very much like lavender, in fact if you hadn't told us..who'd be the wiser?

ReplyDeleteOh Vicky, wish I had this much imagination, love what you've done with this stamp and it looks amazing on the canvas (looks like it's been stitched on.)

Perfect Lavender stems Vicky-and I love how you stamped onto canvas,it makes it look like a cross stitch :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you-when something technical is beyond me I simply hand over to daughter,who tippity taps on the keyboard and hey presto! fixed,she has long since given up commenting about my age and just sighs and hands it back!
Have a great day :)
