Branches and Baubles

Hi Everyone,

To day I would like to share with you the results of my new purchases, which coincidentally also happens to link perfectly to this fortnight's AAA Cards Challenge; #78 is all about circles.

Last Saturday we had a fantastic time at the Stitching, Sewing and Hobbycrafts show at London's ExCel centre, spending lots of money all in the name of research! Well that's was our excuse anyway...

There were some amazing products and demonstrations taking place, but we absolutely fell in love with Card-io and their beautiful designs and stamps. This week I have been trying out my new purchases:

After much deliberation I settled for the Branching Out Clear Stamp Set and the Zendangles Majestix Stamp Set. I could and probably would have been there for hours if Mum hadn't dragged me away.



The stamps are beautiful and stamp co clearly! I especially love the way you can layer the branch stamps to create so many different designs.

After a couple of practise runs I settled on the design below, I love the simplicity of it!


I can't wait to use these stamps more, they're brilliant!!

Materials:
  • 13.5 X 13.5 white card blank
  • White card stock
  • Branching Out Clear Stamp Set 
  • Zendangles Majestix Stamp Set
  • Black ink pad
  • VersaColor small ink pad in polar grey
  • White opal liquid pearl
  • Hobbycraft clear Christmas sentiment stamp

Love
H
