Distressed technique

 
Lovely ladies Gill and Anne have been inviting me round for a wonderful workshop afternoon and requested a play day with distressing techniques. I used Early Espresso and Pink Pirouette colours.
 
Stamp set: Something to say
Ink: Early Espresso
Card stock: Early Espresso, Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Word window punch, Blossom punch, Vintage brad, Sahara Sand Seam Binding, Small scallop Stampin' Trimmer.
 
With the above card being very female orientated I thought we should do something for the boys too.
 
 
Stamp set: Background stamp Sanded, Label Love
Ink: Early Espresso, Chocolate chip
Card stock: Whisper white
Accessories: Label punch, Banners Framelit, 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon
 
Keep on crafting, Gen xxxx

Seriously starred!

It's easy to get carried away with new stamp sets and matching dies! It really doesn't take a lot for me to be tempted :-)
 

It seems an age ago that it was my brother's Birthday, but at least he can't spy his Birthday card here before it arrives down under!
 
Stamp Sets: Sassy Salutations, Be the Star
Ink: Pacific Point, Versa Ink & Silver Emboss Powder
Card stock: Whisper white, Pacific Point
Accessories: Stars Thinlits for the Big Shot
 
Along the same lines, here in a male and female theme . . .
 
 
Melon mambo and Blushing bride colours for the girls, while the boys are Coastal cabana and Pacific point. Now, if I could just have enough in stock to keep up with my friends talented teenagers! Well done Jordan and Louis - proving what stars you are!
 
 
Keep on crafting! I'm looking forward to stellar inspired Christmas cards this year, just need a little time to play :-) GenGen xxxx
