Welcome
And a special welcome to Louise from the blog PunknScrap, who is my newest follower.
Thank you Louise for choosing to follow me.
This card turned out to be a bit quirky - but it was appreciated and enjoyed when given.
I started with two unmarked wooden stamps I had left on my desk to use - I bought them second hand, years ago, off a local auction site (TradeMe) .
When I figured they would fit behind the Peek a Boo die cut, I stamped them onto the pale mauve card. There was a single line frame around the part image that I had to mask out.
Below the framed image I silver embossed a sentiment ( a magazine freebie)
Touches of silver dotted and pale mauve washi were added to the focal panel
I also embossed a couple of overlapping heart circles in the bottom left corner - they are very faint, and I was a bit disappointed that they did not show up more.
The focal panel was matted over the mauve layer, and then onto the white base
The inside was finished with the appropriate sentiment and some more washi. I added a layer of cardstock for a sentiment panel as the card front was fairly heavy with the layering.

This is really gorgeous Maxine. Love the soft look of the two stamps and the silver and mauve colour scheme.

Maxine,t his is so artsy and creative. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat image! And great layout. It’s simple and balanced with the Washi tape. I’m loving that stitch die too. So happy you played along with Krafty Chicks Challenge this week.

This has turned out so well, and how wonderful to have now used those stamps. I love the little silver details and the embossing, great finishing touches xx
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage look of the images. And, the silver was a great addition to make it beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card Maxine. I love the dots and the images on the front are amazing. You did a great job with this stamp. This card is a beauty both inside and out.

ReplyDeleteThat is a bit different for you. I believe I have one of those stamps but I am never sure how to use that style. This looks really good and the soft mauve works well for it. Well done. Kate x
ReplyDeleteA super card Maxine, great stamps - there is nothing wrong with being a bit quirky.

I recognise the image on the right but not the other one - they work well together though. Love the washi tape you have used, silver and mauve always go together in my books.
ReplyDeleteGood for you doing a peek a boo card - not tried one yet but will soon.
Blessings, Neet xx
These stamps are amazing and love their vintage style.
