I found some new card challenge sites.
One is Lost coast portal to creativity. This current challenge is steampunk.
I have a set of Kaisercraft stamps featuring steampunk images and as this is a small narrow card I decided to use the hot air balloon.
I inked the background with Tim Holtz "old paper" distress ink. It ages the papers. Then I stamped 2 balloons using "black soot".
card measures 3 inches by 5 and a half inches.
****************
My next card is for Shopping our stash where they want a congratulatory card and a hand.
I made another steampunk style card because I had a stamp of a hand in the same Kaisercraft set.
I also included a bottle of champagne opening,implying a celebration. Again not much room on the card for Congratulations or well done but the thought is there.
*******************
We love stamping has anything goes. So I made yet another card featuring a stamp. This one is a key, but has been inked in the same way to age it.
*****************
Next is a card for Just add ink.
For this card ,I chose layers plus patterned papers. I've stamped a pocket watch in the centre piece. Again I rubbed over the card with Tim Holtz Distress ink "old paper" to age the card.
On this one I was pleased to use up some scraps of patterned paper.
**********************
Last card for this bundle is for We love to create
They asked for mixed media. I started by splodging red mist across the page. (Does it l,look like blood?). Next I stamped using the pocket watch stamp again. When that dried, I used Old paper ink through a mask . Again it has aged the card. I added my sentiment and here it is.
This makes a set of 5 cards which I will package up and sell.
