Since everyone seems shy about their cards appearing in my Friday Followers' Gallery, I'm going to show you something I did yesterday. Following my TT post - I did look at some of my stamps.....
The Verve stamps I received only yesterday as my prize from a Stamptacular Sunday Challenge. The See-D's are the first stamps I bought and have had very limited use (never known what to do with them - does this ring a bell?). The bird cage stamps are from Creative Expressions, and the flower set from Personal Expressions. So what to do with this lot????
Out came my Distress inks. Peeled Paint, Broken China, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmelade, Dried Marigold and Black Soot. What fab names they give these inks! I started by creating a background and then added elements of my stamps, distressed and inked the edges......and this was the finished result. Can you spot the stamps I've used?
I have to admit this was my second attempt...the first I had trouble with keeping the black ink from marking the background when I wasn't looking. You think I've a tidy craftroom, but this doesn't stop me being a messy worker! I'm real chuffed with the end result - now the only thing I have to decided is how to make a card with it??!?!?!?!?

Ikki this is a beautiful card! Love the colors and the stamps are OFTW!
I have a question for you and I can not find your e-mail address on your blog. So I will ask here. I host the PCP CUTTLEBUG challenges every Sunday and I was wondering if I could add a link to one of your tutorials for the crafters to use for an upcoming challenge. This one #11 Nestabilities and Cuttlebug Thanks for your time and your inspiration.

Hi Ikki
What a beautiful card and I love the sentiment. I also have a few stamps that I never seem to use but after watching Stamp Addicts on Create and Craft yesterday I am inspired! Sarah created a masterboard and then used the final result in different ways. Check out The Purple Zone. The stamps they were demoing are lovely and I am having great fun using them x
