Saturday card: Photo & Stamp

Today I share with you some cards I made for a friend.

She sends me pictures,that she wants me to turn into a card.

The first one is with an owl picture

and Michael Strong's owl stamp.

The owlis colored and sprayed with a glimmer mist.

You cannot see it up front,but holding it 

sideways you do:

The leaves are a cut with a die.

The second one is a turtlepicture.

Here I use stamps from Mark's Finest.

For this card I used Michael Strong'sgecko stamp.

The smallest in the background and the large one up front.

My friend also makes watercolors.

For this card I used a leaved background paper

and the feathers are a stamp and die from Stampin'Up!

Here another card with a watercolor painting

framedin a Michael Strong frame stamp

and the smaller flower stamp at the bottom.

Hope you are inspired to use 

your pictures to make cards.

Have a creative day!

Now I have picked two quite similair Background techniques
 for you called: 

1. Brayered resist technique

Wonderful technique for multicolred ink pads and glossy paper.

2.Double stamped resist technique

using the same materials. But having a differnt look.

With these techniques you have a couple of

backgrounds in a short time. Above you see

some I made in one evening and below

you see the finished cards. I tried to keep a lot

of the backgrounds for you to see.

Click on the photo's and you have an even larger

look of the card.

and Mark's Finest sentiment.

Technique 1 and 2 combined with Michael Strong's
