Hi hoppers, and welcome to Day 4 of the Hero Arts blog hop with the Hero Hostesses!
Here are the stamps I'm using today.
First card, clean and simple and I would say pretty girly... I love my doilies. :)
Made two little throw pillows as accents out of felt. My sewing machine went ka-put immediately after, so I was only able to barely finish one pillow, hence the faulty stitching! Sorries!
This second card is a simple masculine card, no frills... not much anyway. I really like this stamp, it's big enough to be a stand alone image for a card, especially useful when you're in a stamping rut.
To make the typewriter look more realistic and vintage-y, I distressed the edges with ink and outlined it with a Sakura clear glitter pen. Just some low shine stuff and it looks great!
Well, looks like I'm the last stop today, but the inspiration continues tomorrow morning at http://dominodebi.typepad.com, so check back with the Hero Arts blog for the final round of hopping!

Beautiful Kryssi, I really love the vintage style that you brought to both of your masterpieces. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteKryssi, am in the stamping desert at the moment..... so I smiled when you wrote that the typewriter is a big enough image to create a full card/image.
