Anyway... this was the last card I made and the only one I actually like. I inked the stamp (Hero Arts) with memento 'lulu lavender', then dabbed 'lilac posies' and 'grape jelly' on random bits of the stamp, sprayed it with water and then stamped. I really like this effect and if I'd been more in the mood I would have made a batch in different colours - another day! The sentiment is Penny Black, and I added a few black pearls to finish.
My first card - an attempt at resist embossing - ended up in the bin. The resist bit worked fine but I ruined the card. My second card ended up in the bin too. So I gave up and splodged a distress ink pad (shabby shutters) directly onto my card and then stamped a Hero Arts stamp in 'bamboo' memento... just because I needed to do something really simple! It's a bit boring, but I thought I'd include it seen as it didn't get binned!

Hiya, love both of todays cards, but I think the first one, for me, just wins it by a nose!

Lovely and elegant cards♥.

Lisa these are both really beautiful, especially the first, it's really my sort of colours. I like the boldness of the green too.
I hope that you have a good day if you do decide to go out tomorrow.

Both of your cards are really lovely. Your first one is my favourite though. I love the result of your technique. Beautiful inking and stamping!
Lisa - they are both fabulous. I really like the first one with the shades of purple, but the green has the edge - just!
Both great cards. The technique used for your first card is of my favourites too... lovely colours on this card.
