Yesterday I started playing with some of my new stamps. I loved the cube with geometric shapes and a gingko leaf that I got from Hein design, and combined it with another stamping-cube that I bought from them last year, and my new tiger and leopard stamps, and just played around, which is very therapeutic.
This card has been made for *Less is More* masculine cards.
I have kept the 6" square card very simple again, one layer, a coloured square and Mozart in profile, and instead of a sentiment some notes and his name.
The next piece is a contrast programme. I made it for *Try it on Tuesday* *Chocolate* theme, and then fell asleep on the couch last night and forgot to upload it. But as it as planned as a little present for a friend, it will not be wasted. I used the packaging of some very lush chocolate bars which were filled with mousse, cut the tag, heart and wings from it and took it from there. I added a vintage image, a sentiment made with my Brother p-touch, and a golden heart. I tied a chocolate stick into the ribbon instead of a charm, and stuck a small bar of chocolate onto the tag, so now I truly have a chocolate tag.
The little cards following are just try-outs, I used half postcard sized scraps to play with my new stamps.
Lovely work, you seem to have had a good time!

Super Mozart card, love the block of colour. Your chocolate tag is fab (If you don't mind I might have a go at this sometime). Your little cards are great too, I particularly like number 4. x
ReplyDeleteThanks, and you are more than welcome to try the choccie tag. If you are lucky, one of the buys might fall down while you are trying to stick it on and then you have to eat it!
