Poppy card, using a digita stamp for the first time.

 Good afternoon everyone

Just a very quick post from me today to share a card I have just made.   It has taken me all day bobbing backwards and forwards to the craft room but I got there in the end.

The image is a digistamp from Joanna Sheen's Pamela West Collection 2 which I coloured with my polychromos pencils.  This was a first for me in more way than one - I have never used a digistamp before and I have never used my p pencils on anything other than parchment.  Any suggestions for what blending solution to use would be gratefully received - I did this image just using the pencils to blend colours one into another.

Here's the finished card



As always I used my Craft Artist Professional to make the insert.






On this occasion I have left it completely blank as I consider this to be a "generic" card - suitable for all sorts.

Thank you for visiting my blog

  4. Lovely card Catherine. I have been using digi stamps for quite a while now but I have only used promarkers to colour them. I love digi stamps so much because it means I can buy an image for a one off card. I buy quite a few off the internet.

  13. Thank you for all your lovely comments ladies - I have to say that I am pleased with the way this card turned out. Just a little explanation though - the quote on the front is correct - the word "ope" is not a typo for "open", although as some people thought it was, I think that if I use this quote again I will change ope to open!

    Catherine x
