Tropical Paradise


Here is a card we made in my monthly stamping class.  We began with a circle of glossy paper stamping the Palm Cove from Stampscapes with Marvy black ink.  Yellow and orange dye ink was added with a stylus tool and then we stamped the Gulls, also from Stampscapes.  I was inspired to make this from a card I saw on Geri's blog.  The background was created with a Cheery Lynn Designs Grunge plate called Feather.  Using orange Co-oredinations paper, we embossed it then sanded it so the lighter core showed on the embossed areas.  The border is a Marianne die.  Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

Wow! Sandy was thrilled to find this blog, have just been playing with my Stampscapes stamps and came on here for more ideas... you started me out with these about a year ago now aft your you tube viewing I made just after Christmas last year when I was exploring my newly purchased brayer!! And fell in love with your style then and have been using those tips learnt on those You tube posts you made ever since then.
I started my own blog about a month or so ago and just about to do another post this time with Stampscapes, all being well and do had better get back out there and finish them!
