Hi there, sticking my head up above the summer holidays again (said whilst waving hand!)
Yep, I have a couple of cards to share again today and funnily enough both would be suitable for guys again.... I seem to subconsciously gravitate towards this genre!!
I have at least three plaid builder stamp sets but it took until Waffleflowers latest release to have a go a stamping out my own pattern... I say my own but its actually heavily influenced by this photo on Pinterest. To give that white fleck in the solid stripes, I first stamped the Scattered Surface background from MFT in Versamark on the card panel .... I did it twice with a 90° turn in between.
The versamark ink sort of resists the dye ink and gives the impression of a material texture, I also used the diagonal striped stamp in the set to add more pattern detail. I didn't use the Misti for this stamping... I found it easier to use acrylic blocks...
Now for the veggie card... in honour of National Allotment week (14 - 20th August)
I had fun stamping out this pattern, its a cute Lawn Fawn set which takes on a different feel if you don't use the little faces on the veggies...
I did use the Misti for this one... it makes re-stamping the solid images easier so you can add extra shading with darker ink colours. I just love all those bright colours :)
Who wouldn't love a card full of veggies... it's almost one of your 5-a-day :)

Cool and handsome plaid, Jenny ... love how you created the sense of texture with the versamark understamping ... it looks all cosy! Those veggies are fabulous ... so dimensional and scrumptious ... they probably constitute more like four of the five a day!! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Jenny, as always! I especially love the plaid card - just amazing!
ReplyDeleteSuch clever and Super cards, love the plaid, and the colours of the veggies.

You did an amazing job of replicating the plaid in Pinterest!!! Well done! ♥
ReplyDeleteBut you do make masculine cards so well (and make it look soooo very easy too) Jenny! Seriously that plaid set and your plaid design are glorious!
ReplyDeleteDitto to what Therese said - you rock the guy cards. (Well, you rock any card actually!) I love how you added the texture to the plaid card - it's subtle but so cool! And your veggies are awesome! Love how you shaded them!
