Sarah and Vicky at Stamp Addicts have just released two of their new stamp sets, the Wildflowers and Special Wishes, you can find them both here in the 'new' section.
Above is one of the samples I created for them using both sets. The base background was created by distressing a piece of cardstock with Tim Holtz broken china and stormy sky, then stamping with bleach using Judikins 3345F to list the colour and reveal the swirls.The main piece has a background onto which I 'blobbed'................a very technical term.................Adirondack pearl dabber, dried and then rubbed over the same two TH inks.
Next I used Adirondack gold dabber and inked through a piece of mesh just here and there and also round the edges (although I did that bit after stamping) and randomly stamped the wild flowers with TH stormy sky and Versamak and embossed with detail gold. The fence is TH which has been inked with versamark and embossed with Stampendous aged gold enamel. To finish a tag and a TH chain/bolt.....no idea the proper name for it, I just thought they looked fun when I bought them.
And a little giveaway of a collection of Nitwits DP's and some ribbons. To be in with a chance of winning them just leave a comment on this post and I will ask Random Org., to select a winner before my next post goes live later in the week.
If anyone is reading this who won my last candy or prizes at Penny Black at Allsorts, the packages all went off in the post today. Sorry it was all a bit delayed, I thought our PO was open between Christmas and New Year, but apparently not !!
Have a good day everyone and thanks for popping in.

What a beautiful card, i love it
This is stunning Brenda. I love the image and all the different textures and colours.
Can't believe your PO wasn't open last week! We were open again Wed, Thurs, Frid & Sat and the same this week. Not sure if all Scottish POs had today off but probably since New Year is more of a holiday up here! Not looking forward to normal hours again next week, the days off are really nice after such a busy spell lol.

I like your blogg and your lovely cards! Thank you for the chance to win.
Super combination of textures & I like that new technique of blobbing. I can think of other media to use with that one too! It pairs well with the splatter technique - I think?? The metallic colours combined with the blue are so effective & has made me think a little about how I use my floral stamps very conventionally. Comfort zone expansion required there definitely.
