I stamped off a greeting To Have and To Hold from Shirley today but I had already made this card so will use that on another one later. Still trying out different images etc for my son's wedding card. Still have until March next year, LOL.
I've used a pink card base and this delightful yellow and pink swirled paper with pink and yellow roses on it and stamped the image with Basic Grey cut it out and adhered to the front and added the greeting in Basic Grey as well.
Thanks for stopping by - I'm off for a drink and to watch tv for a short while.
Hope you have all had a good weekend,
Sandy
Hi Sandy. Happy to hear you enjoyed evening out listening to a jazz band . Foot tapping music to keep warm by .
ReplyDeleteLove the image not sure about treatment to make it stamp clearer though . sounds drastic to me . Love the background paper as it really suits wedding theme .
Hi Sandy, Thank you for the lovely comments on my blog xx
ReplyDeleteI also find that some clear/cling stamps don't give a clear image the first few times I use them. What ink are you using? I use Memento or Stazon.
I like the beaded look of the stamping for this one, but I have certainly experienced this too, and can be very frustrating when trying to get a crisp image.
ReplyDeleteI've tried light sanding and haven't had much success, what I find works best is a thicker ink, like a chalk pigment ink like versamagic is what I use for my clears. Hope this helps!
Love the bride - and she has a head!!! Great background paper too. Glad the band was good.
ReplyDeleteI like the effect, Sandy - really love that it's part of that shabby chic feel!
