As promised, just a few more scheduled sneak peeks of some of the samples I made for Stamp Addicts Create and Craft programme today which is going out live at 12 noon.
All going to plan we are in Barcelona and will set sail tea time today for twelve days sailing round the Med and Black Sea, fingers crossed warm weather and calm seas, although I'm not adverse to a bit of choppy weather, it usually means the shops and dining rooms are quieter...............could be I just have a cast iron stomach, or as has been suggested by those who shall remain nameless, the volume of bubbles I consume balances out my normally unstable gait......could be a remedy there ?
I was running rather short of time when I schedules this one, so hope you will forgive if my descriptions are brief and I direct you to the thumbnails before for the products used.
The yellow and black card at the top is some of my normal masking and inking and the obligatory sun, I rather like the quirky row of buildings which remind me of the Baroque style of so many squares in Venice.
The blow and brown one uses the same swirly flourish in one my samples a couple of days ago, but used to create a frame, then some little flowers from the background stamp sheet stamped and decoupaged.
The above card uses the lovely Victoriana lady again, this time stamped in black dye ink and coloured with Copics. The side flourish is another from the background set.
And finally, the corner stamp used to created a circle......don't even ask how many trial runs I did to get the spacing right and the patterns to join up. I stamped in black and embossed in detail clear and used some Spellbinders for the background and yet another organza bow.

Super creations, love the first card!
Stunning creations, enjoy the cruise...
Gorgeous Brenda, looking forward to the programme.
I think you've chosen the right time for your holiday. Cold and damp here in Aberdeenshire today.
Take care,

My goodness what a marathon!! I'm absolutely speechless over these & I think my favourite has to be the blue & brown but each has its own specialities. The way the cityscape continues either side of the sun panel is so effective in the first, the classiness of the second with those rounded corners in keeping with the curvature of the swirls & the dimension of the flowers make the second one suitable for any occasion. The Victorian lady's colours echoed by the patterned paper & your swirls echoing the floral panel providing a sense of the William Morris gives a lovely Vintage effect & your final monochrome card with it's deceptive simplicity (simple my foot!!) is perfect for those difficult sad occasions we all encounter. Have a super time.
