Last night I went to see Three Sisters by Chekov performed by a local drama group - an excellent performance of a complex play! Very good!
And so to today - its Carol's choice at CCC and she has chosen 'words as focus' ... Time beat me on this one - I had hoped to do 4 cards but only managed to complete two! I decided to be 'on trend' and use the large letters dies!
The stamped backgrounds are both from Chocolate Baroque....one is a big bold background stamp whilst the other is from the year of stamping range!
This is the year of stamping stamp - I suspect its for December - I cut the letters then coloured using aquapens. I have added sparkle to the letters but this is not showing up so well on the photo.
This is the big bold background stamp again cut then coloured with aquapens.
I hope you have a great Sunday - I am knitting this morning and then set painting this afternoon! I am working all day tomorrow!
Big hugs!

Wowee , these are just fabulous. Really can't decide which colour way I like the most. Enjoy your afternoon. I'm busy making an explosion box for a 70th birthday. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteThese are really effective Rachel. Love the use of paper to make your sentiment 'pop'. Sounds like you had a fabulous Saturday. Hope Sunday is just as good. Zoe x

Beautiful cards Rachel and lovely stamps. I love the way you've cut the sentiment out and replaced it, such a clever idea.
ReplyDeleteGosh you've been meeting the elite of the crafting world, lucky you, as for me I don't even know where Port Sunlight is, my geography is pants, have a lovely Sunday, Kate x
Great job here Rachel. Would have loved the HLS at Port Sunlight but sadly cannot get in! Busy saving my pennies for Doncaster in the Autumn instead.

Fabulous cards Rachel xx
ReplyDeleteLove the look of these cool cards. The elipse technique is wonderful. i have been noticing these popping up in blogland and love the look. Yours are all wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThese are just stunning. I love how you've done the technique with the die (Can't remember what that is called, but it's SO effective on both of your beautiful cards). I like the multi-levels of your pretty backgrounds too. So glad you had a great time at a good show, and got to meet up with some good friends. That's the way to truly enjoy a craft show. TFS & Have a good week. Happy Mom's Day
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Rachel, lovely traditional Christmas colours and great design.
