Just Stamping.



Hello to you all. Been happily playing with all my new products from Stampin' Up. Love this hostess set. Just stamped them and dragged the colour from the ink with a damp paintbrush. Made lots of variations and the black and white theme look stunning.

Been very busy with card orders and my photography. We had a fab 5 days in Suffolk. Stunning part of the country. We had a fab time in Southwold,this is a must visit if you got to Suffolk.

Embossed images


Love using brown cards for my images. Used sparkly black embossing powder and white ink to create this simple card. Do the embossed images first then stamp again using white ink on black card. So many different uses for this combination.
