Variations on a Theme

One thing I find satisfying is to take one stamp and try to produce more than one style/version of a card.

This little quartet uses 'Season of Joy' from SU and the same colour scheme (coloured with markers). Quite traditional, but using different techniques.


Stamped twice and used as a centre panel. The panel is edged with a Spellbinders edging die.




Mounted onto an embossed background (Tim Holtz 'Bricked') with holly die cuts (Tim Holtz 'Holly'). The leaves have been randomly stamped and the berries have a subtle shimmer. Clear rhinestones round off the picture.



Another embossed background (SU 'Petals a plenty'). The red mount has been pierced all round.




Last one - the white mount has been scored in a thick band horizontally with a smaller vertical band.


By varying the 'thickness' of the various mounts you can achieve different effects.

So... take one stamp and play away!

On a personal note - hot, hot, hot here today. Summer is really making its presence felt.

Spent an enjoyable time with the kids (young adults really!) and played Christmas present games 'Bananagrams' and 'The Logo Game'. Lots of fun.

Fireworks last night were beautiful, however it was definitely too late for Schnitzel! He slept right through them and didn't even flinch!!

Happy Crafting!
Cheers
Susie
