Penny Black I'm so cute stamp
K & Co papers
Rest of stuff from stash
The second card is one for a colleagues birthday, so I thought it would fit with the Arty Girlz Challenge this week - why are men's cards SO difficult to make (probably cos they don't do cute lol). Went back to basics for this card, the background is made by stamping the harlequin backgorund stamp onto SU soft sky card with soft sky ink. The image was made by brayering different shades of blues and greens, then stamping on the lobster shack image then sponging chalk inks around the border to give a frame. I loved making this card, even though I did it last night and despite scrubbing my hands with bleach they are still a gorgeous shade of turquoise!!

Inkadinkado Lobster Shack and HOTP scrolls and sentiment stamps, Judikins Harlequin background stamp
Stampin Up! Soft Sky and Basic Black cardstock
Stampin Up Soft Sky ink and various Impress dye ink pads for brayering, Cats Eyes Chalk inks for sponging
Thanks for looking,
Fab cards Bev I love the penny black image and your crochet Flower I have been experimenting with different threads for the flowers, and Anchor thread works, only your flower is a little chunkier also cotton perle No 8 and 5 work really well.
