Imagination Crafts stamps

Using quite an unusual stamp for me - one made with decoupage in mind (really not my kind of thing!).  Fortunately it's quite easy to do - only 3 layers in the whole thing.  The one with primroses at the top I did in a class in the Craft Barn - the one with crocuses I did myself when I got home.  We were practising using Copics to colour with - the top one used the colours the teacher had (all of them!) and the bottom one uses my limited colour palette.  Kept the bottom one opened out to show you the stamping on the spine.  I think they make really nice cards for Mother's Day or Easter.

Sugar Nellie Stamps

I was testing out my Copic Pens with this card - only used grey to shade the bear and a pale lilac (I think) for the girl's outfit.  Then I used glitter glue (Stickles - Star Dust) over her hat and around the card.

Calendar

I did this with a tag book from the Everything's a Pound shop (at the NEC) - split it up to get 4 calendar backgrounds.  I used Distress Stain on the tag, a torn up book page with Distress Stain on too, used the stamp from Craft Stamper magazine and used a dyed ribbon to finish.
