The Draughtsman

Morning All,

Carolyn here with you today sharing a simple but effective card using The Draughtsman stamp set recently launched by Kay on Hochanda.

For this card I used Black and White card, Onyx Black Versafine and Stazon Cloudy Sky.

The main image of the Draughtsman was stamped onto white card using Versafine Black Onyx. I cut this to 75mm square and mounted it onto Black card. This was then trimmed to leave a 1mm black border.

The background was repeat stamped to cover a 110mm by 110mm square card using Stazon Cloudy Sky. This was also matt and layered onto Black card and trimmed to leave a 1mm border.

The card was made up by matt and layering the main image onto the background and then onto a 125mm square white card blank.

Thank you for joining me today and do pop back to see the fabulous inspiration from the team.

Quick Card Share from Mike Deakin

Hi Everyone - Mike here with a couple of quick A6 card shares for you today using two of the fantastic new release stamp sets.

The first is the "Drive Fast" stamp set teamed up with the older but very versatile "Script" stamp set with some cogs and gears for decoration borrowed from the "Fly High" stamp set also featured in the card below. The backgrounds were created using "Vodka Martini" & "Kingfisher Blue" acrylic metallic paints applied by hand with a piece of "Phat Foam".

All images were stamped using Jet Black Archival Ink. The "Script" stamp was stamped in the background using "Sepia" Archival Ink.

They're very quick and simple one layer cards but with the metallic paints in the background, it gives them some real depth with that lovely metallic lustre shining from the back!

Hope you like them!

This one uses the pretty Flower Power stamp with the small bees from the latest Collectors Edition stamps.

I do hope you enjoy the video and get inspired!

Take Care,  Kay M x
