Michelle writes…..

I more or less used the same techniques Isaw demonstrated at Harrogate and have tried to reproduce a similar design to get a feel for the stamps, this is my first card using your stamps and have enjoyed using them so much decided to extend the pleasure by using them inside the card too. Have a look at my blog http://midnight-crafter.blogspot.com/

Another lovely picture by Kathleen…love it….. Thank you

I used two of your stamps to decorate the inside of an altered Halloween domino book. Full details of what I did, plus more pictures and a link to your website may be found on my blog http://sherrysimpleblog.blogspot.com/
I only discovered you last weekend at Ally Pally and think your stamps are lovely.

What a lovely idea…thanks so much for sharing this with us …i have never seen anything like this before….keep sending them in.

Thank you Sherry

Stamped using pastel colours and then overstamping with bright colours stamped off once.

Thanks Connie for this lovely picture…i never thought about doing the leaves in pastel colours….they really work.

Here we have a lovely card sent in from Anne…decorated with Flower Soft with a fantastic shimery background …

and here is how Ann did it….. Thanks Ann

The background is a mix of Glimmer Mist and Starburst Stain sprays.  I stamped the left hand margin with the sea-weed stamp in pigment ink (Bamboo I think) and then stamped the flower twice in Moss Green pigment ink.  The big advantage of your stamps is you can bend the stems any way you want.  I used one of those glue biros to put very small dots of glue on the flowers and then tipped some Flower Soft (Sweet Pea colour) over the glue and shook off the excess.  Its best to do a little at a time otherwise the glue dries before you get the Flower Soft on.  I added a little glitter to each flower, just letting it stick where it landed – I didn’t add any more glue.  I layered that piece onto a sheet of pearlescent paper (being careful not to knock off the Flower Soft).  Then stuck that to a folded piece of card.

Flower Soft really lends itself to stamping.  All you have to remember is to get a plastic box to store each tub in.  In the tub that you buy its very compressed.  You need to take a little out of the tub and rub it through your fingers a few times into your storage box (like making pastry) then it separates enough to not stick in big ugly clumps!

I used the softball brayer along with butterscotch & sunshine yellow inks to create the background.
The main images were stamped using Versafine black, Kings & Star, Stars and an old We three kings stamp I had in my stash already!
A few ‘blobs’ of glitter and all done

Thanks again Eileen…another lovely card….and a great reminder to make a start on those Christmas cards
