Two cards, one stamp today...Phill Martin and his landscape scene....sorry can't remember the actual name I made a card with this stamp for hubby's birthday last December (see here) and needed more male birthday cards so I decided to do a very similar idea with the stamp cut in half after the embossing and inking....See what you think....
Stamped and heat embossed in black and the background done with the oxides. I still need more practice at blending these as despite blotting off on scrap I still seem to get splodges of colour.
Thanks for popping in and THANK YOU all so much for all the lovely comments that you have been leaving me. It makes me feel so grateful to have so many cyber friends out there that appreciate what I do. You make my day!
Must dash as I still haven't made hubby a Valentine!!!.....I do have an idea in my head...so it will probably turn out completely different..lol. I'll be back at the end of the week to show you!
Enjoy your week and your Valentine!! (grin)
Crafty hugs and love

Two wonderful cards Carole. I love your DO backgrounds and fabulous silhouette stamps. Bitter cold here but at least the sun has just popped his head out xx
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful, it looks as if you've used two different stamps from a set. I love the background, perfect to show off the silhouettes
ReplyDeleteClever girlie! They look brill.... perfect background! x
ReplyDeleteBoth are really lovely Carole and the rainbow background perfect for the silhouette images. I'm just the same when it comes to creating what's in my head, in fact not a lot in my head since I was ill, that seems to be the problem and the bin overfloweth most days.

Hi Carole, a super pair of cards, I think you've done a grand job on the blending for the background. Have a wonderful week... Megan
ReplyDeleteWow!! They are gorgeous!! I love those images and you backgrounds are stunning!
ReplyDeleteI really do like your blended backgrounds, I can't do that yet you make it look so pretty and the silhouette stamp just finishes the card beautifully x
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, Carole. I love the silhouette dies against your beautiful oxide backgrounds. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Carol
ReplyDeleteI love your cards .. .. the beautiful skies against the black silhouettes look stunning! Fabulous colour choices.
Your cards always look so super neat .. .. and just look at that shine on the surface your cards are standing on. I really do need to chisel some dust away here!!! Thanks for reminding me. I bet your ironing basket is empty too!!! LOL!!
Love Jules xx
