Getting Inky Again

Hi Crafters,

My cards today are using various makes of butterfly/ fairy/ mythical stamps and Distress Inks.

They have all been sprayed with Pearl Diamond Spray & Sparkle so they're really shimmery in real life.

I really enjoy my time spent getting inky and messy whilst creating these fabulous backgrounds to use in my cards. I have some more backgrounds saved up for another day, so watch this space :)

Picture Postcards Collection

Hi Crafters,

I've been playing with my Tattered Lace Dies and matching Picture Postcards Charisma images again.

Here are two cards in different colour tones for my box.

Lots of layers in these images and quite fiddly to stick the foam pads to but worth it for the end result I think.

See you soon,

Lorraine
