vintage wedding

Oh its been such a long time since i used this stamp and indeed its been such a long time too since ive indulged in such a fancy card.

I seemed to spend most of my crafting time designing for splodgeaway, and because their masks are so detailed you dont need to use an awful lot of embelishments on your cards, but now ive given up my design team position its back to very pretty over embellished cards, its was great letting myself go adding more and more to this card.

The stamp is lili of the valley, coloured with distress inks, lots of flowers from wild orchid crafts the papers are October Afternoon, lots of diamond stickles have been added for a little bling. All the blending on the papers were acheived using the amazing SplodgeAway mat. 

The distress inks ive used are:
waethered wood. black soot, broken china, walnut stain, tattered rose, fired brick and mowed lawn.

As seen on TV

Today was the second show of splogical inspiration on the the TV. Tom (aka Mr SplodgeAway) and Maria were showcasing brand new SplodgeAway products on ideal world and for those of you who missed it they will also be on create and craft at 6pm.

The design team only had 6 days to get some sample cards out (some only had a couple of days)  and i think we all did a very good job

Here are a few of my samples that you may of got a glimpse of i will over the next few days post more of them that made an appearence.

I will say you should check out the new stenscapes, thats what ive used to create the 3 snow scene cards and you will love the wolf creek  and city scape one.

Making backgrounds

Ive been using my splodgeAway mat to make some backgrounds for cards, i inked up some stamps with versamark and then embossed with white embossing powder, i then painted the flowers with distres inks and also added a few drops from the reinkers to the white space, i then spritzed with water before dabbing and drying, i do quite like the effect, then i over stamped with a small inkadinkadoo butterfly stamp, a few pearls, stickles and layers of bazzill later and viola a card was created!
