My 5 Favourite Cards from 2011

Hi Bloggers.

Debby is hosting My 5 Favourite Cards from 2011. Here's my 5 (really difficult choice) -

The first is using the Road Trip stamp set from Tim Holtz -

The next uses the 'All That' stamp from the Kenny K Collection at Whimsy Stamps -

This one uses Mr. Inventor in Black & White -

This is one of my favourite stamps from Sugar Nellie. She's called Tiffany and she's absolutely gorgeous -

Finally, I've chosen this Mother's Day card. I was really pleased with how this one turned out -

Hope you've enjoyed your visit.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hope you have a wonderful New Year.

Julia.

You Rock!

Hi Bloggers,

I hope you all had a very good Christmas and are enjoying your Bank Holiday. Today I have this card to share with you -

The image is Rock Chick from the Kenny K Collection at Whimsy Stamps. I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured her in using Promarkers. I cut her out using a Spellbinders Curved Rectangles die and inked around the edges with Faded Jeans Distress Ink while still in the die. I cut a faux nestie out of rust card.

The sentiment is from Inkadinkado Rock Star Clear Stamp set. I stamped it in Memento and inked around the edges with Faded Jeans.

For the background paper I used the Stamps by Judith Stubbie AAA-04 Dots available in the UK here or in the USA here. I stamped it randomly over my white card using Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks. I edged it with Faded Jeans Distress Ink.

I inked 2 Woodware Plain Paper Flowers with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and splatted Faded Jeans Distress Stain in the centre of each one. I inked the edges of some roses from my stash with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink and added them to the centres of my paper flowers.

I assembled the card as shown and added some blue gems top right.
