Christmas Kraft

I recently came across the Split 4 Stamping technique and had to give it a try.  You can see a You Tube tutorial here.

I used a Hero Arts stamp set that hadn't seen ink before for the foliage and a variety of Christmas sentiments.

 

 I'll certainly be using the technique again. Im entering this at Cardz for Galz and NBUS challenge.

The First Sign of Spring.

Snowdrops are supposed to be the first sign of Spring. Nobody's told my garden that as I haven't seen one yet but I have got miniature daffodils in bloom. Anyway I decided to make a spring like card for the new challenge at Cardz for Galz, which is to use Kraft.

I stamped the image from Uniko in dark green then coloured it with pencils. I added a nice fresh green ribbon to ground it. No sentiment as I'll add one when I decide who I am using it for.

 

Make it Kraft!

Welcome to a new week! The new challenge at Make My Monday is  to use Kraft card. I know Valentine's Day is past but it wasn't when I made the card! I'm thinking I will use it as an anniversary card.

I stamped this sweet Penny Black stamp in Versafine Onyx Black and coloured it with Spectrum Noir pencils. There's lots more inspiration over on the challenge blog and look forward to seeing what you make.

NBUS Challenge

The lovely Darnell is celebrating her 5th blogaversary with a special NBUS challenge. You can read all about it here. She has added an optional twist of a new technique -colouring with pencils on Kraft.

This is also a technique I haven't used before either, so had a go. The stamp is NBUS from Penny Black  - Red Blush, the sentiment is from Clearly Besotted and also NBUS. I thought of mounting the panel on red, but preferred it without. I used Spectrum Noir pencils to colour the image.  I'm also entering this over at Winter Wonderland where the challenge this week is Sunshine, Flowers, Romance.

Use Your Stuff!

I recently found a "new to me challenge" called Use Your Stuff and this week they are asking us to use kraft.

I had just finished  this page when I came across the site so thought it was serendipity!! Another page finished for my Oz scrapbook, still have quite a few to go though.
