It's technique day here in Swainby so we will be trying out the media plate techniques as well as some stamping, die cutting and embossing folder techniques.
Todays card is quite simple, which I always try to show on a sunday, using just the Build a wreath clear stamp set and some wired satin ribbon ( I am a ribbon addict having hundreds of different ones!)
I used my Press to Impress and the whole wreath stamping this in light green. I then stamped over this using the quarter opine bough stamp in a darker green finishing with the leaves and berries quarter stamp in a honey colour ( All Izink dye based ink pads)
I then added poinsettias over the top and berries in raspberry.
Enjoy...
Morning John, a very beautiful and traditional card today.

Morning John, beautiful card today, and I have purchased those curved edge dies, they are amazing, I like them very much.
ReplyDeleteI was using the Santa and sleigh from your latest stamp set on some batch cards yesterday, it looks wonderful, the detail even on such a small stamp is amazing, thank you for these.
Enjoy your final day at Swainby xx

A gorgeous card John. I've been making some small batch cards using your Build a Wreath stamps and I'm really pleased with them. So easy to do, but very effective. xxx

Hi John. Love the traditional design of the cards and the fact that the colours are a bit different to the normal Christmas reds and greens.

Dear John - I'm still here, had a tooth out last week and I'm finally feeling better!! Anyway - lovely cards recently. I have a question, when you stamp onto the plate thing, do you need Versamark to help it 'stick'?
