Thank You Card


One of my favourite presenters on Hochanda has to be Phill Martin.  The laughable thing that is until a friend bought me this gorgeousssssssssssss stamp for Christmas I had none of his stamps.  As a thank you for some kind people at work who bought me some chocolates for Christmas I made this "thank you" card for them.

I started off with a plain piece of card and used my Tim Holtz Faded Jeans and Peeled Pain distress inks to colour the sky and grass.  I have then used the Phill Martin rubber stamp "On Safari" with black Versafine via my Tim Holtz stamping platform.  Silhouette stamps can be difficult to stamp but thankfully with one of my best buys for 2018 I could re-stamp the image twice to get a clear impression with the stamping platform.

I then used a Spellbinders label and cut out from white card, stamped a sentiment on it and edged with the Faded Jeans distress ink so it would merge into the sky.

I finished off the card with some matting and layering and nothing else as I wanted this beautiful stamp to do the talking.

  3. A fabulous card Kym and it's great to see a card with so much hand stamping on it. The stamps are lovely and I don't own and Phil Martin stamps either but I do love wildlife silhouette stamps, so this card is right up my street. Thank you for joining us in our 'All Things Bright And BEAUtiful' theme challenge at Stamping Sensations and good luck. Sandra x

  4. I was thinking just the other day I've not seen you for a while Kym, there again I've been MIA for weeks so might be one of the reasons, anyhow this is a gorgeous wildlife creation for our 'All thing Bright and BEAUtiful' theme at Stamping Sensations February challenge, many thanks for joining in.
