The Great Outdoors

My good friends son is having a birthday next week so it was time to bring out some male inspired cards. Fathers Day is also next week so have already got the thinking cap on. This set has not seen much inky time and it fitted in well with this sketch that I found.

One day I might just enter in some of the sketch challenges I find, but for now they are a great starting point for when I have stampers block!

Clean up time!

Isnt it interesting what one finds during a tidy up. I found these really cute little flowers, well that was the end of clean up time!!. They matched up with the in colour Strawberry slushy. I stamped a few of the awesome big swirl from Everything Elenore set and then just randomly placed the flowers. I put birthday greetings on these cards but they would suit other occasions to. And I still have more flowers to go.

At a training day I went to a few weeks ago in Gordonton we all got to have ago at carving our own stamp, the hardest part about all this is coming up with your idea. I looked out the window and saw a sign advertising strawberries! I'm quite stoked with how this came out and now that I have had a go I've got lots of ideas I would like to try. The kit comes with all you need to make your own. A couple of carving tools and enough rubber to make two or three or maybe more depending on the size, stamps!

Then I coloured my stamp in with markers directly on to the stamp to get the two toned effect.
