Funky Fossil Designs new stamp preview "Winter Wonderland"


This Saturday, Funky Fossil Designs will be launching
 five new stamp sets.  The set I have used for this sample is the new "Winter Wonderland" set.



I used a cream card for the base of this card, masking off a circle area and using "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide Ink through the Funky Fossil "Basket Weave" stencil.

I stamped the trees and the stag in Versafine Clair brown ink and created the landscape using Distress Oxide Inks.

Gelli Plate & Pan Pastel "Enjoy The Little Things" Card


It feels like I have not crafted for ages, I've just not been in the mood for it.  But I couldn't sleep last night and got up when it was still dark and had a play making this card. 


I used a background I'd made a while back using a gelli plate with Pan Pastels and three Funky Fossil stencils (Distressed Diamonds, Forest Foliage and Peony Panel).

I used the Funky Fossil "In The Meadow" stamp set.  The sentiment and the right hand side is stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink and then heat embossed with Wow! Clear embossing powder.

I then decided to stamp and heat emboss the same flower in clear embossing powder.  This doesn't show up on the still photograph, but you can see it on the video above.

I added splashes of white and black Posca Pen paint and inked the edges of the card before mounting the image on black and then white card.
