Well actually they arrived on Friday as expected……but an all day class on Saturday and the garden on Sunday put paid to my playing !

The stamps have now seen ink and they are still my favourites !

First up a non traditional card, what I mean is it’s bright and cheery not exactly what you would expect from a pirate.  I have used the fabby new spritzer tool on this card, it’s so easy to use and lots of fun and a little bit messy, my type of crafting!

Then some more new toys, Glossy cardstock !  Brayering is one of my favourite techniques and glossy cardstock makes it so much easier.  I have used Wild Wasabi and Marina Mist a great sea colour combo.

And now for my “grungy” card, love, love,love the distress kit !  The inks are fabby, blend easily wow we will have fun with this !!!

I have put lots of dimension into this card.

That’s all for me today, I have lots of lovely ladies making 20 cards on Saturday to prepare for, let alone it’s 3 weeks until Stampin’ Up! convention and I have the small matter of about 300 swaps to make……!

Happy Stampin’
