Addicted to Stamps and More

Hi All ! Welcome to my newest follow which makes the number 99 which is amazing-thank you all of you.

Today it is very hot and  so my brain is not working too well.

This week at Addicted to stamps and more there is a photo inspiration challenge


I thought it looked quite easy but then I started to work with a piece of shiny black card and it was nightmare. It showed every finger mark.

I managed to disguise the marks with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and covering with a black ink pad.

The flowers and leaves are die cuts and the stems some green card in strips. The Greeting is another peel-off-one more from the pile of many.

Hope you are having a good day and enjoy your weekend

Love Chrissie x

    Oh, yes, Chrissie, I agree, I think you did wonderfully with the black embossed background. It really helps those pretty flowers to 'pop'.

    Blessings for a great weekend,

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
