Lots of Stamping!

Hey friends, well it is the start of the week again and the count down for 4 days off work for me..I cannot wait, spending lots of time with my family and relaxing, just what the doctor ordered I think.

So have been going through some files on my computer and found a card that I created, inspired by my sweet friend Jennifer McGuire...wasn't sure whether to share it or not, but what the heck, cannot hurt I suppose.

100_5729


Taking the Classic Fabric Design inking it with some Soft Pool ink and stamping onto trimmed white card stock, distressing the edges of the card stock and adding blending of Tumbled Glass distress ink. Cutting a circle out of more white card stock, inking the Envelope Pattern background stamp with Antique Linen distress ink and stamping over the circle, applying more of the ink the the edges of the circle. Next, taking 3 of the flowers from the 4 Flowers stamp set and Milled Lavender distress ink, stamping all 3 flowers onto white card stock, trimming around each and applying a light dusting of more of the ink to the edges of the petals, adhering them together, adding pearls to the centre of the flower and twine at the back of the flower. Stamping a sentiment from the Everyday Sayings stamp set to the circle and adhere to the Fabric Design card stock. Finally, adhering the flower and a scattering of pearls either side of the circle, then adding this to a trimmed white card.

Well, must head off now, have to try and get a couple things done around the house, so that I don't have as much at the end of the week.

Hope you are all enjoying your Monday.

Hugs

I've been wondering, who makes this beautiful background stamp if I may ask? Maybe I am just blind but I haven't been able to spot the brand heh.
