I made the card above by first creating an abstract background. I brushed on different Versafine Clair ink pad colours. (the new colours) Then I stamped "Mideela" the dragon. I've had him for awhile but this is the first time I have used him. He measures close to 3 1/2 inches high and spans about the same width wise. I occasionally buy a stamp that I either have no idea how I will use it, or it may be a stamp I am not really keen on. Now I know that sounds weird - why buy a stamp I don't like? But never the less, it's something I do! "Mideela" was a stamp I liked but, at the time, had no idea how I would use him. Once I had done the background, and stamped "Mideela", I matted it on to some black card. I'm happy how it turned out, and I had fun creating this card! And that's what it's all about, enjoying what you do!
I made the cad above using another Clarity stencil, with different sized circles cut out. The flowers (Garden Poppy), and sentiment are both Lavinia Stamps. The card looks a bit pale on here, but in real life it is much darker. My apologies for that!
Good question! They are that fuzzy thing I mentioned in the previous post, that I got from the Resource Center, that I clean/dry my stamps on! They are on a thick piece of card stock, which you may be able to recognize in the second photo...or not! Ok, that's it for now! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
Very cool cards, Sunshine! The first one, with the wide black mat, looks like a piece of artwork ready to hang on the wall. And I love the layout of the second card with the different colored circles in the background. -Andrea
