Dandelions and a Winter Tree!

Hello  Everyone, hoping all is well with you, but if not I hope you feel better soon, sending kind thoughts out to you.

Wednesday already, mid week, boy does the time go fast!!  Poor day today, heavy rain and a lot cooler too. Sun is out now, but there's a dark sky. The Scottish weather fairly keep you on your toes.

I treated myself to John Next Door's new stamps, I think they are just lovely and the kind of images I like. Here is one of the dandelion stamps, the sentiment is also in the set. As I don't have his new Media Plates yet, I did my own version of using an Xcut die and inking up with TH Oxides then stamping the image in Versamark and clear EP, I carried on with the tiny wisps of the flower. My background is an Imagination Craft stencil and Starlight Paints, and I've edged the card with neutral charcoal pencil, I didn't think it needed any other adornment.  Here is another angle;

Now, just because I have another card to share;

So here is another of John's stamps from the set with trees and leaves. I started with Derwent Black card and scribbled Metallic Pencils on to it, in Gold, bronze and copper.  I then stamped one of the trees, there are three in the set and some leaves all in Gold Wow EP. Christmas Blessings is from the set and it's embossed in Wow Copper.  I faux stitched around the edge of the card with Sakura Gel Pen in Copper. The card blank is CE Graphite.

Another shot;

All the metallic shine makes it difficult to photograph.

I have to say I had such fun making these cards, they are fabulous to stamp with and the possibilities are endless, so expect more.  I hope you like these ones.

Just before I go, I want to thank you for the lovely comments on my last card, I do appreciate the time you all take to visit me and leave a comment, you are very kind.

Till next time, take care,
