A Lady With Attitude

Evening ladies,

Just something really quick for tonight. Life has stepped in the way of my stamping this last week and will continue to be hectic for the next two weeks. I will, however, endeavour to post as frequently as possible.

All stamps are by Hero Arts . The background was the bleeding tissue technique on glossy cardstock. Enjoy!

Celestial Twins

Hello everyone,

In a mad dash this afternoon as it is my DH's birthday and I am arranging a very special dinner for two. Typical....He has just rung to say he will be late. That extra bit of tractor work just has to be done today! Sigh!

I would like to share this little card using Rubber Poet's Celestial Twins. I have made the backgrounds using the bleeding tissue technique. When wetting down the tissue, I used gold Pearl Ex in my water spray, which gives a very subtle sparkle to the whole card. To keep the sparkle there, you do have to remember to spray the lot with workable fixative (otherwise it will merely wipe off!)

I gold embossed Penny Black L509H ...A Better One over the top of the dried tissue paper background. The twins are stamped in StazOn black and just for a little added interest I added two gold stars.

I tend to have a wet day every now and again and make a pile of these backgrounds, so I have plenty when I want to make up something quickly. I have learned also to make at least TWO lots of the same colour combinations...so you can stamp the image but also have a piece which could be used for layering purposes.

Aren't my twinnies gorgeous?
