One stamp - Two ways

This is an old stamp by Inky Antics (still available though). I paper pieced the main girls dress in both cards - polka dots for one, gingham for the other. 

For this first card, the scallops were cut using a die-namics die from MFT.





I layered a blue button on top of a bigger red one for an embellishment



the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards


Here they are again, similar layout, but a very different look


I thought the image would make a nice card for a sister to send - remind them of when they were little girls maybe. The images were coloured with Promarkers - tip, when you are colouring more than one person, use slightly different skin tones, it looks more natural. For these two little girls, I used blush and soft peach for the dark haired little girl, and ivory and blush for the other one



I have finally finished unpacking all my craft stuff, so can get on with some projects. Mind you, it takes me a while to get used to being at a different desk - I sit there thinking 'now where does the glossy accents live in this house?'

  5. Very cute cards!!! And I might add that I have no idea how you travel back & forth from the US & UK and keep track of all that stuff!!! I can't even travel from my scrap room to an outside scrap event 30 minutes away without losing something!!!
