Something a bit different....

It's been a very long time since my brayer last saw daylight so thought I would have a little play.
I started off with slightly 'coated' card and using a Big and Juicy Hydranga ink pad inked up my card but masking out a circle for the moon first before brayering.
Several stamps have been used on this card, the reeds and background is one stamp which I bought on that well known auction site quite a while ago but I dont remember it having a name it was just an unmounted stamp. The birds over the moon is a stamp from Lavina Stamps, the 'trees' stamped on the top of the card is a little stamp from Clarity but any leaf stamp will do. Having stamped I though the card needed something else so I've added my little bird punch with leaf from Stampin Up. I really enjoyed making this card so think I might do another one.

LOTV Wedding Card.....



Sorry for the bad photograph on this card but the light is dreadful.
I just love this wedding image from LOTV. Just added a little bit of glitter onto the image and mounted it onto the Nellie square die cut. The backing paper is a handmade paper that has beautiful white leaves on it with glitter in the centre I dont know what its called as it came from one of the craft shows. Cuttlebug swiss dots along the botton with a little bit of ribbon and I've used the Stampin Up eyelet border punch along with a few pearls (of course). Greeting is computer generated and mounted onto SU oval punches. A few roses added to the front, Nellie Snellon leaves also added.

Penny Balck challenge....

Penny Blacks challenge this week is a card plan which I love doing.
Had a problem getting the right colour for the watering can started off with watercolouring then went back to my pencils! This little image is called 'Yearning'. Mounted on Nesties, backing paper is from Papermania Aqua pack. Corners are Cuttlebug, the buttons are in fact a perfect match for the purple card but they haven,t scanned very well.
Two flower punches used and of course a few pearls.
Thanks for looking.
