The scan does not really show my card up very well but as my photography skills are equally usless it will have to do. The challenge over at Less is more this week is to follow one of two sketches, you can find them
here. My craft stamper magazine came today and I was very taken with the article by Joanne Allison. Basically you just take your distress ink pad and press it down onto your card blank to make an impression then stamp over it. She used blue with fish stamps. I chose crushed olive then overstamped with my dragonfly. I used a clear sparkle pen from Sakura for the dragonflies wings but I don`t think it shows up here. I also used a scoring board to emboss two lines either side of my happy birthday but I don`t think that has shown up either ! This technique is ideal for those quick last minute cards that you need in ten minutes flat or is that just me Lol ? x Lavinia
What a great idea, I think the colour goes really well with your fab stamp and I bet the wings look amazing.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. Very striking.
ReplyDeleteThe dragonfly is so pretty, and I love the colour choices! M x

Really love this, what a great idea looks fab :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great technique Lavinia and I like the colour you've chosen as a background for your dragonfly. (And no , it's not just you...!) Vicky x
ReplyDeleteThe dragonfly stamp is beautiful and I love the DTP technique you've used with it.
ReplyDeleteSaw the article too and was taken with the idea. I think I like yours better - I'm a sucker for the olive green!
