It's an Illusion

Made another card for my workshop on Saturday, this time using an image from Leandra's new plate.  It's another fancy fold type card, the same as one I did in America but if you look at it it seems to have a curve on both sides.  It has not!


It's actually the fold that is turned back that gives it that illusion.

Anyway, I stamped the birdcage (Paperartsy) in black and embossed with clear ep and then cut it out carefully with scissors.  The other two images are also Paperartsy - the flower from Flora and Fauna 6 and the words from Clocks 4.

The inks I have used to colour the cardstock are Distress ones, the new colours - Rusty Hinge (I am hooked) and Tumbled Glass.  I so want to play with lots of Paperartsy stamps and the new Distress colours but I have more than enough in my workshop to keep them going all day.  Just wish the colours would show up as they do IRL - guess you will just have to try this combo.

By the way, I have just put The Stampman blog logo on my page - well worth going and making an entry - about to do it myself.
