You brought me Love

Hi Everyone,

It is my turn to share on the CuttingEdge Magazine Facebook page.

To create this card, I have used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the base scalloped card and inner circle.

I am really happy with the way it turned out.

Friends

Hi Everyone,
Today I want to share a card I made using a Penny Black stamp I have had for a while.

It is a clear stamps and I must admit that I was having trouble getting a clear image once stamped.
Soooo, I tried putting powder over the stamp and them used an eraser to rub over the image.
I then applied ink.
I am happy to announce that it WORKED!! YAY!!
I will certainly be trying this on my clear stamps again.


Here is what I created:


Copics Used:
Bear:  E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47, R11

Grass:  YG61, YG63, YG67, G21, G99, YG91


Until next time
