A little play with Distress inks and some Clearly Besotted stamps

Hello Everyone!
I hope you had a lovely weekend. Mine was very busy but I did manage to fit in a little bit of time in my Craft room to have a play with my new Wishful Thinking Clearly Besotted stamps to make the card below.

I used Distress inks to create a background on a square or card I had masked off with washi tape.

I then stamped the images with Archival ink and stamped a sentiment on vellum which I wapped around the image before adding it to a layer of yellow card before adding it to my card base.
I then finished with stick on gems.
I hope you have a lovely Monday!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Playing with Distress Inks and Inkylicious stamps

Hello Everyone! I am here with my usual Thursday post for the My Mum's Craft Shop blog. I have something a bit different for you today. I have been playing with some of the gorgeous new Inkylicious stamps which arrived last month at My Mum's Craft shop. I tried for the very first time blending the inks directly onto the card masking the edges with a Post-it note to get a clean frame around the inked area. I applied various distress inks using a brush and then stamped over the inked background with the Inkylicious tiny script stamp.

I stamped some Dandelions in Distress inks using the Make a Wish set . I used two shades of inks to give the image some depth and then stamped a sentiment over the top with Archival ink.
I added a small wooden button and a stick on gem as a finishing touch. I hope this will inspire you to try some of the new Inky products that Kitty has in stock now. Make sure you visit the blog today, we have some lovely Candy for a lucky person to win....

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Steampunk pink!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and having a good week. I had a pretty rubbish evening yesterday, water has been slowly leaking from my water inlet pipe to my washing machine, probably since it was fitted and has ruined some of my kitchen floor. My kitchen is a complete mess with the floor all pulled up and the washing machine pulled out so my planned evening of crafting did not happen :-( Hopefully we will get it sorted today but I could do without all the drama!

The card I have to share with you today was the one you may have spotted on my desk yesterday...it was made using some gorgeous stamps from the Creative Expressions 'Steampunk Dreams' set which is available here from My Mum's Craft Shop. I created a background using Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet distress inks and Dreamweaver brushes then stamped some of the cogs and butterflies using more distress inks.

The dressform and little butterflies were stamped onto kraft and cut out and I stamped the dress form again onto a bookpage and cut out the wings and placed it behind the dress form. I stamped the sentiment and then sewed around the edges before adding to black card and the card base and then added the dressform, metal cog and butterflies. I finished with a button, a paper rose and some gems. I hope you have a lovely Thursday.
