This card was inspired by one of your super projects on your new DVD Tracy. Various Adirondack and Versafine Inks (too many to remember!) a Speedball brayer and my new Nestabilities Daisy Die… great fun making this card. As it is poring with rain at the moment I have tried to capture some Sunshine … Best put your shades on ! lol

This is stunning Eileen… you are so clever… love the colours… its got real depth…looks like you have used Cut’n'Dry around the edge…!

After purchasing you fabulous DVD set I finally tried the brayer technique. This is the second I made.

I love the colours in this Linda…beautiful

After purchasing the double DVD set, I tried the brayer on some ATCs. This was the first one I made.

what a great verse for a great card… thank you for sharing this with us Linda

I made this picture for the competition at Happy Stampers North West (October 2011) – the theme of the competition was “100 Years of Photography” and entries had to use only sepia tints. I wasn’t sure what to do and then I remembered the story of the girls from Cottingley who had taken photographs of the fairies at the bottom their garden in 1917.
I used the following stamps: Tree Root; Stars; Bullrushes; Foliage; Small Pixies; Slender Mushrooms (small); Willow;Wild Poppies (plus some Grass from Stamps Away).
I masked the edge of my card before brayering very lightly with Adirondack Ginger to give the sepia tone. Next, I transferred a copy of a photo of my great-niece, Elsie-Mai, using a technique demonstrated by Barbara Gray on CreateandCraft TV – taking a copy of a photo which I’d made sepia on the computer and then printed out onto ordinary copy paper, and using nail polish remover on a cotton wool ball which was dabbed over the image to transfer it onto the card.
I then used my stamps, with Versafine Vintage Sepia, to build up the image, before removing the masking tape to reveal the border of the “photos”.

I made the photo corners by using the Versafine Vintage Sepia direct to card and simply cutting four triangles.

I wasn’t sure whether people would get the connection to the theme so I was delighted when my card was chosen as one of the winning entries!

Thanks to Lavinia Stamps for the inspiration!

I love this picture Dawn.. thanks for sharing your story with us…. love the card you deserved to win..

I dabbed various colours of Distress inks onto a craft mat, sprayed water over the ink then pressed the card onto the mat. I repated this to create a layering of colour and texture. I then sprayed Shimmers of Gold and Burgundy, stamped the images then finished off with liquid pearls. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute thank you!

Thank you for sending in this lovely card Pamela
