Thank You x

Happy Saturday folks!

I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend - I know some of you will have had to work - I spent many, many years working in a place which provided a 24/7 service including all bank holidays and I frequently had to work Christmas, Easter etc - so I know what it's like!

I would like to say Hello and Welcome to some new followers - I hope you can make sense of my ramblings and gain some sort of inspiration from my cards.

My card today is another of the DT samples.  I have used the grass/branch stamp that went with the boy and birds set and more of the words from the fab word chains.

The background is simply created by squishing distress inks on a glass mat (a tile would do too),
spritzing lightly with water and pressing a piece of white card into the wet ink.
Pick it up and see what you've got - you can give it another dunk if you haven't got enough colour.
I always do a piece bigger than I need, so I can choose the bit I want.
Once dry, cut to size then stamp the image and words with black archival
I always ink round the edges of the card too - probably with black soot distress ink.
Mat onto black and add a few gems
For the base card, I used the same stamp and just stamped around the edge of the card in black.

Quick and easy, but rather nice - I like to think!
Thanks very much for stopping by, have a great weekend.
