I had this new Penny Black stamp that I wanted to use, but now I'm thinking it should have been text paper or something along those lines rather than just a large sentiment. Oh well, too late now. These were really quick to make! I followed the sketch at Clean & Simple and I just LOVE this sketch, I'll definitely use it again.
For the first card I used another new Penny Black stamp for the spotty background, but I hadn't realised quite how big the background stamps would be! Really I need a huge stamp block to use them properly - the only thing I had big enough was a rock-a-block and it didn't work that well for such a big stamp. For the second card I used a scrap of spotty paper instead of the stamp. I prefer the first one though I think :o)
I'm also entering my cards for the following challenges:
- Fab n Funky - no dps (my first card)
- Crafty Catz - quote or sentiment
- Sentimental Sundays - anything goes
- Here Come The Boys - anything goes

Love them both Lisa, so stylish. I once used a pyrex dish lid to stamp a large image, worked out well as it has handles.

Hi Lisa
Two gorgeous makes .. .. love the idea and your lovely sentiment.
I use my cuttlebug plates to mount my big stamps on - although I love the thought of Donna using her pyrex dish lid. I think that would work even better!!

Hi Lisa, they are both great cards. Just perfect for men (like my husband) where you can't make hobby themed cards. My hubby is into railwayana and just laughs at the train themed cards. He might well find himself getting a card very like your ones! Sarah
