Right before my trip to England, I was in a swap so I thought I'd share what I made. I used Postage Due. There's quite a lot going on with this card, not my usual style, but I like how it turned out!
The main image was inked up in Crumb Cake and then I took markers and 'thumped' some colour onto the images. The postage stamps used the coordinating postage punch which looks really great! I enjoyed putting this one together.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful usage of colors. You mentioned that you 'thumped' on some color....what exactly is that and how do you do it?
Barbara
Beautiful! I could never come up with something like this.
ReplyDeleteNice to see your stamping creativity return (although I'm confident it never really left).
ReplyDeleteHow did you attach those dangling tags at the bottom under the bow? Twine?
Great card... Love to get swaps back, it's like Christmas!
Thank you for the link on 'thumping'. Very helpful, and I appreciate it.
