Inks + Masks = Fab backgrounds

Happy Sunday!  Just popping by to share the results of an inky, messy session!

I used some That Special Touch masks with my Distress Inks and stamped a my favourite flower stamp to make these:

 

 

I then got out some of my new embossing folders, printed some beautiful Pink Petticoat sentiments and made these cards:

 

 

As you can probably see, I still have two cards to make using the birds and the compass backgrounds.  Well, Rome wasn't built in a day, and I have a few ideas for the compass background that need a bit more work.  So, watch this space!!!

 

I hope you've had a good weekend and, if you're on school hols like me, have a good week :)

 

 

Hugs,

Playing with new embossing folders and dies

I got some yummy new Christmas embossing folders and dies recently and finally got round to having a play this weekend.  Here's what I came up with:

 

 

I was pleased with how they turned out as I also used inks with the folders for the first time too.  However, my hubby (who always gives me his honest opinion) doesn't like the gold one ... what do you think?  Should I make the bow smaller ... add something else?

 

Hope you've all had a good weekend xx
