Darkroom Door - Surfboards

Hello... Flying visit today as I'm having one of those days!

This is another of my new Darkroom Door stamps... I wanted to leave most of it uncoloured and just add a pop of colour to the surfboards, but I'm not sure if it really worked - maybe I should have used different colours.

Items Used

Stamp - Surfboards - Darkroom Door

Stamped using Archival Ink in Sepia

Colouring - copics

Papers - NEW Prima Forever Young - MCH

Memory Box Simple Banner die - MCH (out of stock)

Twine (ordinary garden twine bought in big rolls on Ebay!)

Blue fibres & starfish charm from my stash

Sentiment - Stampin' Up

Still lots more to do, but hopefully I'll be around later for a bit of a commenting catch up... and I've got a girlie creation for tomorrow (for those of you who don't like the boring male stuff!).

**Enter my candy here**

Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

Mr Bright Idea

Hello.... Ooh it's been so cold today!  Well it has been for the last few days I suppose, but I was forced outside for the school run today... brrrr!  There's ice and slushy snow everywhere too, I don't like it at all.

I have another male card today, with one of my new Darkroom Door stamps... they have some fab stamps for male cards :o)

Bit different isn't it?  Hopefully it'll appeal to someone - not everyone like soppy romantic cards do they?

I typed this up a couple of hours ago, and then forgot to hit publish lol, so I'm a bit later than planned!  Hope you enjoy the rest of your evening :o)

I've had better days!

It's never good when your 3yr old manages to throw up in your face is it... it's been a bad day... and I think that's probably quite enough information!

Before the 'incident' I was playing with a fab set of Darkroom Door stamps from Papercrafts TV called Vintage Automobiles - LOVE this set!  I've never tried Darkroom Door stamps before, they come in a lovely silver tin and they'll look great on my shelf - I'm going to have to collect more of these sets!

I just wanted to make some simple cards ready for if and when I decide to open my Etsy shop.  All stamps, including the small stamps used for the backgrounds, and the sentiments, are from the same set, stamped in 'rich cocoa' memento ink on Stampin' Up kraft card.

Dex is asleep now - I had to get hubby to leave work early so he could pick Morgan up from school, as I was in no state to go anywhere!  Hoping he'll feel a bit better when he wakes up.  Off to catch up on some commenting while I can...
