Pearlescent Poppies

Evening All
Another productive day here in holiday land.
I haven't started on Clarity cards yet but I have managed to get on top of the cards for the next two issues of Craft Stamper. In fact they are actually for the July and August editions, magazines work so far in advance that it will soon be Christmas lol.
It is so much easier to work on these when I am here in the shop as I can wander round and pick items in the right colours. The colour scheme is always very specific and often not what I would think to choose which is great. I do like a challenge as you know. Of course I can't share the end result until it has appeared in the magazine, so for now you will have to content yourself with another of the cards that I made for last nights class.

The background has once again been made using pearl acrylic paint and distress ink pads. This time I have stamped and embossed Hero Arts CL449 Delicate Blossoms onto it.

I have coloured the Poppies using distress reinkers for a more intense colour. Once again the stamp has now sold out, but Janice is re-ordering it as we speak so she should have it back in stock again soon.

The punch is a Martha Stewart and the green background paper is another of the lovely designs from the Scribble Scrabble Bric-a-Brac collection. The gems are actually peel-off dots with a drop of glossy accents added to each one. It makes them look like expensive gemstones I think you will agree.
I'm off to make the dinner now, another of my jobs when I'm here. Well I do have to earn my keep some how.
Have a great evening.

A Flower amongst Flowers

Morning All
Wow another morning posting, this holiday lark really is great isn't it :) We actually got back to the flat before 9pm last night, which has to be a first, so I made the most of what will probably be my only early night for the next week.

This is another of the cards using the embossed resist technique that I did with the girls in class yesterday. It uses another of the new stamps that found it's way in to my shopping basket. It's called Flower amongst Flowers (4155L) and is by Penny Black. I stamped and embossed in white and then sponged colour from a Kaleidacolor inkpad called Flannel.

The image has then been stamped again using the same multicoloured inkpad. I cut out the panel using my nesties, of course,  and then mounted it onto a piece of background paper from the Scribble Scrabble Bric-a-Brac collection. I blinged it up a little - I hope you approve Mrs Till lol.

Of course I had to add another Martha Stewart punch to my collection and this uses the corners from it. It's called Cherry Blossom.
I'm off to make the tea again now, and then it's back to the samples. I've got Hobby Art and Clarity shows to work on so I shall be a busy bunny.
Bye for now. Happy Crafting.

Resistance is futile!!!!!!

Morning All
Another early start here at SirStampalot. I have an all day class today so no chance of a lie in. Still its lovely and bright if a bit chilly.

I spent yesterday playing with the resist technique which is one of the things that the ladies will be doing today. Of course I just had to add some new stamps to my basket on arrival, so it made sense to play with them don't you think lol. This card uses Hero Arts F5352 Sweet Daffodils and H5424 Exotic Bloom.

The background paper is new in from Scribble Scrabble Sweet Shoppe collection, and the greeting is from Woodware FRCL171.

As you can see I had quite a productive day although they were not all made yesterday. I had better go now as the ladies are all champing at the bit, ready for the off.
Have a great day.
Love and hugs
