~{I love lace - coloured in technique}~

I was convinced to buy this beautiful stamp by my downline Lindsey.   She had told me how detailed it was. I've been having a play with it and am stunned by it's intricacy.

To create the lace panel I inked the whole pad with Crumb Cake then using marker pens in Pool Party and Lucky Limeade (Old Olive would be fine too) I coloured in the flowers and brushed over the leaves before huffing them stamping onto Very Vanilla card stock. 

Do have a go at this simple technique and let me know how you get on.

~{DCM Something Old Something New}~

It has been an absolute age since I participated in a blog challenge!  And I have to confess that I made some cards today, then saw what the theme was on the Daring Card Makers and realised my cards fulfilled the criteria.  Do pop over to the blog if you would like to take part.

The theme is Something Old Something New.  The train stamp from a set called Traveler and is one I've hardly used since I bought it in the summer and the script and postmark stamp come from a retired set called French Foliage, it was very popular and is apparently hard to get hold of as it is retired.
