These 2 cards with the car on, were inspired by my friend Andrea (Snippets by Andrea). She has made cards like this, on her blog, and I loved them so much I bought the stamp set. It is a Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous set, Home for Christmas. I used a red brad for the door handle on the car, just to give it a tiny pop of colour. I like that you really don't have to colour the images. I stamped in Versafine Clair Portobello ink, and stamped on an un branded cream coloured cardstock. I also mounted the stamped card onto some SU Evening Evergreen and Soft Suede cardstock.
Below is a DL size card using another THSA stamp set called Holiday Sketchbook. There's six stamps in the set. I used all of the stamps on this card.
The next 4 cards also use the same stamp set. I have added a bit of colour to some of the images. I used water colour markers for this.
The card below uses Lavinia Stamps products. It's a small 3 x 3 inch card.
I'm still waiting on my new LS stamps to arrive, and I am sooo frustrated. I ordered them Feb 7th. They left the UK on Feb 13th, which would have been the 14th for me as we are a day ahead of the UK. I cannot track the package. It just says they left the UK Feb 13th. I have been in touch with Lavinia Stamps, and all they said was to let them know if the package hasn't arrived by March 3rd. Lavinia Stamps don't seem to be interested that my stuff hasn't arrived. I've also made an enquiry with NZ Post, who haven't given me an answer as to where my package is. They just say it's 'in transit'. It does not take 12 days to fly from the UK to NZ! Where is my package?? I'm no longer excited about the new LS stamps and have pretty much lost interest in them. Not good. There are other from NZ also still waiting on their packages from LS. I hope we all receive our packages soon. Watch this space.
Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self and shine bright each and every day!
I love all your cards, Sunshine! I’m honored that I inspired you with the first two, and the Holiday Sketchbook cards are wonderful. The little touches of color are perfect! Your LS card is lovely, too. I’m sorry it’s taking so long for your new stamps to arrive - that’s so frustrating. Hope they come soon! -Andrea
