Vintage type

 To start this card, I applied ink blending layers with Distress inks, I then made score lines and then dry embossed the card and applied more ink to the raised areas. The stamped images were fussy cut out and coloured with layers of distress inks. I also added a spray of gold smooch ink to add an aged look.

Supplies

Clear stamps textures Typograpy - Lou Collins free in a craft magazine

Rose embossing folder

Distress ink - brushed corduroy, weathered wood, tumbled glass, squeezed lemonade

Highlighted tags

 I made the background on the back panel with stamps and various inks. Added the black webbing and 3 hand cut tags which were stamped with leaves that were heat embossed. I then added the skeleton leaf and threads in the tags.

Bird Collage

 I made this for a Collage swap and was pleasantly happy with how it turned out.
 For this card I started with swiping the ink across the card. I then added the leaves with a stencil and two green inks. I then added the stamps to the background with black ink. I added the die cut leaves and the bird that I had hand cut out. I coloured the flowers and the bird and added Plaid dimensional magic to add a gloss texture.

Hidden Numbers

I made this for a numbers card swap.

I started with a diamond stamped background from my card stash. I added the numbers with a stencil

 and blending the ink. I then added the stamps and blending the images with ink to add depth.

 

Embossed Roses

 

Some fun making a birthday card for a fellow card maker. I scored lines on card and added distress inks, shabby shutters, brushed corduroy, weathered wood with the direct to paper technique. I then dry embossed the roses and highlighted it with peeled paint. Adding the sentiment and die cut leaves.
