The Sunday Stampers Week 90 The Rose

This week the lovely Hels has asked that we include a rose in our design/offering! So here's what I came up with and I hope you like it. I'm not too sure the make of the stamp as it's been a stamped image that was passed onto me from a friend. I used black card stock, DL size, organza ribbon in both black & red & some lovely red gems.



The rose is coloured red with some water coloured pencils & a little sparkle added with red mica powder. There you have it - although this card would be ideal for a Valentines card - well I think so, I'm afraid to say, I don't have anyone to send it to - awwww :-(
Thanks for visiting & please leave me a comment as I love to know what you think of my dabbling!!

Altered Board Book

Can you see a theme developing here??? Alteration's the name of the game!!! LOL!!!
This time it's a little board book, which started out life as a Barbie book, which I rescued from the charity shop I help out in. I used my pokey tool to separate the original story pages from the board. Some didn't come off clearly & left ripped edges, which I thought added to the character of the book. I then inked up the pages with some Distress ink pads, Adirondack pads & Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, then I stamped the pages using a variety of my favourite stamps.
Hope you like what I've achieved - all comments welcome, Thanks for looking x
