Cupcake Craft Challenges had announced that this week was to be their last challenge, but happily DT member Donna is to take it over and it will continue. Hoorah! So here's my card for Lisa's Challenge to use only black and white. I was very taken by the landscape stamps by Creative Expressions that were being demoed and sold at Newbury Art Stamps on Saturday.
With superhuman strength I resisted the 3 for £25 offer and just bought one set :). I've stamped with Soot Distress Ink and used a watercolour brush to drag some shading around, then used the ink on the edges too. The sentiment is an Elusive Images one and the DP comes from the Stamp Attic. The card is for a geography teacher at college who is being so helpful with Will and the dilemma of which universities to visit. I really like the way this stamps out, maybe I should have yielded to temptation and bought more of the landscape sets :)
Hi Anne, what a fab card. I love the image, so unusual and the paper is perfect. How did you manage to control yourself and not buy them all lol! Thanks for joining us at CCC this week. Hugs, Denise x
ReplyDeleteThis is great Anne. I should think your teacher will be very pleased with it. Well done for resisiting temptation but the one you bought was money well spent, it looks terrific.
