This card is CAS'ed from my convention roomie Elaine Harding, you can see her blog here, I received it in a swap at a team training event earlier this year, it uses a technique called faux tearing which makes use of some copier paper and a sponge dauber. The stamp set is Open Sea and is stamped in Soft Suede ink; the anchor image is punched using the tag punch and attached to the card with linen thread.
Remember this? I made the topper as my swap for the Reading Training day, you can read all it here. I thought the ladies at card club would like to have a go too and so I turned it into a larger card and added the greeting.
Yesterday was just great! I attended a Stampin Up Leadership training day in Reading. I learned loads, did a make and take or two and met loads of lovely people :)
This is what I made to swap with all the other demonstrators and is what has been the cause of me spending the last few days in various stages of inkiness. I punched a circle mask from a post it note and then added 3 different inks using a dauber (Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy and one of the new In Colours Midnight Muse). The images are from Winter Post and Lovely as a tree and stamped in black. I then matted onto Night of navy and not Quite Navy card.
Hmm, think I might upscale this a little for card club next week, what do you think?
