Here are two of my new stamps from MSE. It took three attempts to get the sentiment printed without a smudge, the first two cards will have to have backing paper on the front of them to cover my mistakes... I can't just throw out two card blanks!
The frame was printed, and the centre cut out with a Nestie and the edges cut with my Woodware Finger Guard Trimmer using the Victorian cutting blade.
The flower from Poundland or Wilkinson's, (not sure which,) has a punched Blink with the addition of a Cuttlebug flower centre.
My copy of Craft Stamper arrived today. I was amazed to see that a stamp design I had submitted some weeks ago, although not chosen for the freebie in the August issue, had been short-listed! I was really pleased!! Check it out if you take the magazine!

Just beautiful Chrissie. Congrats on your shortlisting, I'll have to see if I can find the mag in the States.
ReplyDeleteLovely card, great flower and well done on your short listing.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY--it will let me post a comment. I think blogger hates me. I can't tell you how many times I come to your blog and want to leave a comment and it won't let me. And I only seem to have trouble with your blog. Ughh. I've thought about emailing you, but haven't!
ReplyDeleteANYWAY, I think this card is stunning. I love it. It's simple and just precious. I like how the flower is the focus. So cool. :)
What a lovely card, the flower is so pretty :o)

A really elegant card Chrissie and I love how the gorgeous flower is centre stage! I have a hard time stamping sentiments too, I've lost count of the wasted paper :D. I'll be buying Craft Stamper this weekend and can't wait to see your short listed stamp design, well done on that, it'll make the mag an even better read. Chris x
