A Stamping We Will Go...

What to do when your mojo has hit rock bottom? Experiment of course! Yep, I am having one of those days again and I need a bit of a creative breather, where I am still working but not having to come up with a finished make.

So I thought I would try out some different stamping textures by stamping with the ZIG Art and Graphic Twin Pens, available from Make The Day Special, on different papers in my stash.

The stamp I'm using is the Merry and Bright Unity Itty Bitty stamps also available from Make The Day Special.

Well that's it from Kim Labs for today.

Hope you are having a good creative Tuesday.

Insightful Meadows!

Hello there....

Late again, I'm afraid.....I haven't got used to working Monday's yet!
This week I have used one of my all time favourite kits by Unity, Insightful Meadows. Available from the lovely Emily here

I have used my Distress Stains to stamp with. These give a beautiful water colour effect. Unusually for me I have also used a coloured card blank.....The hardest bit was choosing the background...In the end I have used a Red Velvet paper and tied  some ribbon round and added a bow.. I think this has made a simple card quite elegant....

Thanks for looking, I'll see you soon....maybe with something inky and painty.......

Butterfly Love

Today's make is a tag using stamps from Unity store kits - Key to Joy and Life Becoming both available in the store here.

I coloured the tag using Ranger Distress stains and then stamped the key background using Distress ink. I then coloured another piece of card with more distress stains and stamped the butterfly on it before cutting it out. The quote from the Key to Joy set was stamped on to more card coloured with distress stains and white drawing ink.

Materials used:

Unity kits (as above), Ranger Distress stains, Ranger Distress inks, brown Versafine ink, white drawing ink

Wild Orchid paper roses, Basic Grey rub-ons

cotton lace, ribbons, beaded embellishment,

As always, thanks for visiting!!
