All colours are distress inks... the dragonfly stamp is one of my favourite EVER.
The sentiment looks wonky in the pic.. very annoying. It isn't, it's just the angle of the photo... which in turn is because there is NO LIGHT around at the moment, just huge looming grey clouds. Not that I mind that much, more time for crafting and acting the hermit crab!
Great distressed ink card M, love the butterfly and dragonfly.
ReplyDeleteDon't think Summer is ever going to arrive :( xxx
Very nice! I love stamping with distress inks too, it gives a cool look to the card.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. Love the pattern behind the squares. x
ReplyDeleteI like the background you've mounted your three tiles on and the tiles are gorgeous. I love crafting but I'm getting fed up with looming grey clouds! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteMmm...distress inks! (you'll just have to imagine the Homer Simpson voice!) you've inspired me to use mine more, they've been a bit neglected of late :(
ReplyDeleteI wish the sun would come out so my pictures would look better too! :) plus it's summer and it really should be sunny now!!
I really like this card, the composition is really lovely :) thank you for your sweet comment :)
Love the distress ink! So pretty and I see why you love that dragonfly stamp. It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi M - love this card the pattern behind the square is brilliant - really adds great detail and colour and makes the squares pop.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on my bike card - PTI only sell direct so you can only get them from their site in the US - no UK distrubtion :( I resisted for a long time but now have a friend in the US who I send my delivery too and she kindly forwards it on to me at much less than if I ordered direct for delivery here. The stamps and dies are good value but the postage makes them prohibitively expensive for us in the UK unfortunately. Somemone else might do a verion of the die over here eventually - PTI tend to lead where others follow.
Hi M
ReplyDeleteRight honey, the way to position the sentiment in a set place on cards is to use a stamp positioner. I got mine years ago from Lakeland, and wouldn't be without it. Basically, it's a clear perspex sheet and an L shaped one. So, you stamp the image onto the perspex with the L butted up against the corner of it, no card in sight. Then you line both up against the image/card or whatever - take away the flat sheet with the image on and butt your re-inked stamp against the L bit -works a treat.
SU do them and my fave SU lady is Sarn over at Stamping For Pleasure.
Hope this helps!

Great card and love the dragonfly! Xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. I am a little biased though as I lurve Dragonflies and Flutterbies. I am with Di on the stamp positioner thingy! I couldn't have described it better myself! Including Sandra at Stamping for Pleasure!

Lovely card M!
ReplyDeleteFunny enough, I did wonder if that was what you meant about stamping, and thought I could be on the wrong track about using a positioner - from your comment left on my blog it seems you know loads about stamping anyhow. Bit stumped as to what might be going wrong, if it's only the one stamp then it might just be that stamp. If it's most or all there's a few things it could be - but I'm no expert. I have learned never to stamp with a card lying directly on my glass cutting mat - a sure way for things to shift a bit. You could put a mouse mat or such underneath the card stock when you stamp - and I generally stand up to stamp so I'm right over the thing. Just my little ways though.
