Swap Cards for the Stamp Club

Who doesn't need birthday cards for the men in their lives?

I made these for the swap at the local stamp club, using Tim Holtz and Inkadinkado stamps.  That's a gold peel-off running down the right side for balance.  The card opens up a little bit differently than a traditional card; I think that's what I like best about it!

Guess what?  Another Rubbermoon stamp coloured with pencil crayons!  Must be my current kick.

Stamps Without Borders

I love stamps with borders around them.  Magenta makes many nice ones, for example.  This Inkadinkado owl stamp (from the Bird Assortment clear set) doesn't actually have a border around it, so I added it by hand, using the place on each side where the branch ended as a guide.

Beach Memoirs

Inspired by a Hero Arts video on coloured pencils, I created this Artist Trading Card.  The turtle stamp is by Maryse Carrier.

Spring Flowers

I got out my Coluzzle the other day and created these Artist Trading Cards.  They were inspired by all the spring flowers I'm enjoying.  They're lasting a long time because the weather in Vancouver is unseasonably cool.
