A little bit of stamping:

Good morning all - this is my final scheduled post as I should be heading home today with my little pumpkins in tow!

I've got a card I made in response to a quick card makers 'challenge' over at the craft stamper magazine - its a colour challenge - which I got right - but its also supoosed to involve sparkle and bling - well I forgot that bit so I thought I'd show it here instead!!!!



The stamps I've used are all part of the papermania urban collection - I've used tumbled glass and milled lavender distress inks to create the background directly on the card blank. Then I've used water to spritz and flick and dried before stamping with a text stamp in seedless preserves DI and overstamping with the floral stamp at the bottom. The central panel was stamped in black onto white card and some milled lavendar was added to blend it in with the background more. A very quick but effective card I think!!!!

Thanks for dropping in today.
