Celebration Easel Card

For once, I have given stamping a rest and focused on embossing to create a quick and easy wedding card.  It can easily be adapted for a wedding anniversary with the addition of a sentiment instead of the Double Link Trim strip on the easel stand; the colour scheme of the wedding (anniversary) is a great starting point, combined with either white or ivory as appropriate.

Zentangle round a Stamp

The idea for this card came by an article by Lisa Mason in the November 2012 edition of Craft Stamper.  This was the first time that I had done any zentangling, but if you've been following my blog, you know that it hasn't been my last.

Proud of my first attempt at Zentangle

Mixed Media Tag

Back to another popular combination - a masculine card which started life as a mixed media tag!  I like to use cream and black as a combination as I find it less stark then black and white.

Brusho Blossoms

The inspiration for this card came from Kay Carley in the July 2015 edition of Craft Stamper.  I had just bought some Brushos and happened to have the same colours that were used in the example in the magazine.  I used ProMarkers instead of Copic pens and replaced the stamps used in the original with the Stylised Flowers by Indigoblu.
