an oldie in the spotlight again

I hope you can see a bit of the glitter on the petals.

  Allsorts challenge week782 - A/G or a blast from the past - Having a quick look on my blog I used this stamp in June 2012 - it has long been a favourite. I used Aqua promarkers to colour this sweet image.

another new background stamp

 another lovely background stamp from Uniko - as you can see from the middle picture a crisp perfect image stamped in black. For my card above I wanted a soft image to match the faded colours on the patterned paper so this time I used an old inkpad that was a bit on the dry side.

I am not being paid or asked to show this stamp by Uniko - I just wanted to share cos I think Uniko has some original designs. I will be back to showcase another one of their stamps in a few days .

It's all about the background

 Way back in February I got some new background stamps from uniko  - a British based company who have some unusual and interesting stamps all designed by a lovely lady called Bev. I managed to find time to play with one of them today.

I loved the boldness of this stamp and it's very hard to cover up just a tiny bit cos it's very striking. Just 3 colours shown above and you have an eye catching design.

Just a bit of paper - sometimes that's all you need.

 the sun had just moved when I took this pic so it's hard to see the colours-  shades of green and pale sea glass. I ran the dark coloured circles through an embossing folder  and added a few enamel dots to pick the blue colours.

Allsorts Birthday challenge week 781 - Congrats to the team - so many of our favourite challenge sites have gone. Well done for keeping things going.

The dreaded male cards - 3 for the charity box - this is what happens when you are up and about at 4am.

just a sunflower

I know wooden stamps are not used very much but when I saw this brand  new stamp for $1 I couldn't resist buying it. 

The markers I used are the white coloured ones shown above. The brand name says 'artists touch' .they were inexpensive so I assume they are made in China.

Last  year my neighbour and I both planted sunflower seeds- his flowered beautifully - mine never saw the light of day -sadly I can kill any plant .
