Although it's Tippy Thursday when I normally answer any questions and bring you tips, news and ideas, today I'm going to show you one of the cards that I submitted for the EIDT. This card is displayed on the Elusive Images Design Team Blog, along with other beautiful artwork from my new team mates, and although many may have seen this tutorial, many of my new readers may have missed it. So, with no more ado.....here it is.....
I think I have found my way in stamping! This is what I like doing....
I think I have found my way in stamping! This is what I like doing....
composing pictures with stamps on lovely paper.
The stamps are from 2 sets of Elusive Image stamps: Daisy Butterflies and Eastern Grasses - absolutely great artwork giving perfect images.
On DP from HOTP, I've overstamped the images in Adirondack Coffee ink to enhance the background.
I made the topper with the same stamps and coloured the background with DI's and then triple embossed.
The insert....using a Nestie Label One and the same stamps
My finished card.....
I have Andrea to thanks for her support and encouragement to stamp - when I met her 2 years ago I couldn't even stamp onto scrap card without smudges. Thanks Andrea, I owe you!

Don't know about finding your way, Ikki, I'd say leading the way! This card is absolutely beautiful. I particularly like the insert, which could also be a card front, with a sentiment stamped in the middle. I've just bought the Eastern Grasses set but haven't used it yet. You've given me some wonderful inspiration here!
Wow Ikki - this is a stunning card - you really are great at stamping - you are so talented - you could turn your hand to anything.

It's gorgeous Ikki, really a fab set of colours and papers and chosen images. If you have found your stamping 'flavour', the triple embossing must surely be your technique?
This is really lovely Eileen, I can see why you like doing it if this is the end result!

Beautiful colours and fab images

Do you happen to have a list of all of the cuttlebug folders? There are so many new ones, and I want to inventory my collection without reinventing the wheel, if possible.

Hi there Ikki, A big congrats on being selected by Elusive Images team! I was just wondering if they are just available in UK though? My Google search did not amount to any available down here in Australia.
Love this card too, colours are really beautiful, thank you!
