Stamping in white

Yep you read the title right - bit tough on the old eyes but using my daylight lamp helped.

I only truly stamped and coloured on the first card, as I decided to go with sponging on the 2nd.  I coloured the first card with Prismacolor pencils and Zest.  A simple die cut and plain base was all I felt it needed.  This is for the Splitcoast WOW challenge (TLC518) and was posted today to friends we had lunch with last weekend.  Their youngest is our Godson and we found out he is to be Baptised in March - the last weekend.  That is a date for our diaries!

The 2nd card was sponged with distress inks (Shaded Lilac and Faded Jeans with just a touch of Picked Raspberry on the butterfly additions).  I added the little flower sequins and a piece of paper from a Do Crafts paper pack called French Lavender - very appropriate as this is going to France.  This card is for the January Penny Black challenge. 

I am off to create again soon but DT work so you won't see those cards just yet.  Happy Weekend!

Penny Black Metal

Hi - another quick post from me tonight.  This time I am using metal as per the Penny Black challenge this week.  I used a new Penny Black stamp too with the gilding flakes so as well as the Penny Black Challenge I am also entering this card in the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge to use something new.  The gilding technique is also quite new to me as this is only my 3rd attempt.  I over-stamped it with Red Stazon ink to give it a bit more definition.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  Brads were added to the corners and a Spellbinders die was used for the sentiment panel with some ribbon from my stash.

Thanks for looking.
