Hi Everyone, more cards I did recently, I have bought a few stamps, can't believe it! I saw these and loved them, I thought they were simple and could be used whatever the occasion. Firstly I had seen (can't remember where now,) of making straight lines and distressing a shade. (If you know please let me know so I can give credit for the great idea.) EDIT - I have had a few people comment that it is the amazing Eileen Godwin, thank you everyone and Eileen too. I thought it sounded simple enough that I could do it, luckily I found it a great thing to do. When I had finished that card, I added water to the colours and pressed my card into it, then when dried I stamped on top of it. The third I just stamped and layered. I bought the other 2 stamps in the set also, so look out for those at a later date!
stamp - Woodware Autumn Pods
sentiment stamps - magazine freebies
Distress inks
black ink - Stazon
embossing powder - WOW clear sparkle
glaze - Nuvo Crystal Glaze
This is the one where I used a piece of card, then blending distress inks off it, to make the straight lines. I added colour to the stamped image and added sequins.
This is the one where I added water to the Distress inks left on my glass mat and pressed the card into it, stamping on top with a darker shade of the background and added clear sparkle embossing powder to it and layering just the corners.
This is just plain stamping, no embossing powder.
I did add glaze to the centre of the flowers, instead of colour.

Three beautiful cards.xxx
What a versatile stamp, it is just lovely and your designs and colours are fabulous, love all three of your cards, Kate x
All three look lovely Faith xx
Beautiful cards as always!!!
I love all three of them but musty admit that the black and white with the gloss on the flowers is really very striking and just grabs my attention! It's a terrific image and I can see how it would be tremendously versatile.
What stunning cards Faith! I love that you are embracing stamping and I can see you had a lot of fun showcasing these beautiful stamps with these different techniques - all fabulous and inspirational! Vicky x

What a versatile stamp! Love the three different versions, my favorite is the one with the blended lines! Great inspiration - thanks!
I agree with Crafty Stamper . . . I reckon it was Eileen Godwin as she's made several cards on YT video's using the straight lines and inks.
Love this trio of cards. Each one is lovely and showcases the versatility of that lovely stamp.

Faith, these are absolutely gorgeous! I am watching one o Eileen's videos right now! I will have to give her techniques a try!
I love the stamps. Too bad I am on a budget or I would probably purchase them! Beautiful work!

Well done you on 'buying' some stamps! All three of your cards are fabulous Faith, so unique and artsy. Fun techniques and so very eye catching and I love them x.
Hi Faith, the cards are all gorgeous, each with just the right accents and details. Love the inked backgrounds, you rocked those techniques. Good weekend to you! XXO
Fabulous set of sets, Faith! Fun techniques on cards one and two. The clean and simple look of card three is just my style.
First off yay for buying some stamps Faith! I do love the stamps you got, or at least what I've seen so far. lol Your trio of cards are fabulous! I love the two colorful backgrounds, they are vivid but soft too. Looks great with the stamp stamped on top of the colorful background. The "plain" card is simple, but so effective. I am loving the glaze on the flower centers. Well done my friend! Hugs, Brenda
wow - more stamps lol! It is Eileen's technique, I've had a go this week but not made them into anything yet. So effective on your cards, they are all lovely.
All absolutely stunning! loving your inkiness and that stamp is one I keep hanging my nose over, lol. The mushrooms and the hare fell into my basket
