Hey,
Happy Sunday to you.
Hubby and I are still in DC - more about that tomorrow.
Whilst Hubby was in the UK, I took 3 days off, so had a super long weekend. Which meant I got some serious time at my desk :)
JT bought me these great Spellbinders dies last year - as part of our usual $20 challenge.
I haven't used them a great deal and as I was off, I decided to have a play with them and a set of Papermania stamps I bought last year, that co-ordinate beautifully with the dies.
First I inked up the stamp with Black Soot and Festive Berries distress inks, spritzed it with water and stamped onto mixed media paper. I then dried it with my heat tool.
I like the effect that you get, you can kind of make out the detail of the stamp, but its also a bit grungy.
I used one of the smaller dies from the set to die-cut the stamped image and then the next size up for the red background piece.
The thanks die is by Lawn Fawn.
I made 2 of these cards, you can see that the spritzing and drying means you get a slightly different look each time..
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

These are a great reminder that nesting dies are still a super effective way to get a fun card done. I completely forgot they were from the $20 challenge! Nice spritz + stamp combo, I like they are varied from each other. Really good to have masculine cards to hand as well! x
ReplyDeleteLove this fab CAS card Claire!! the bold colours work really well together, and the postage stamp dies are awesome! :-)
