Week 7 Theme Challenge - Masculine!

Over at the Less is More blog this week the challenge is to create a Masculine card and to keep it clean and simple at the same time... hard or what!!.. I looked through my stamps and decided to use one of my bonsai designs. I designed the bonsai rubber stamps for Joanna Sheen but sadly she no longer has them in her shop.. Here is the card I came up with
Next time I will stamp the tree first, mask it, and then add the inked circle... but hey-ho, I am still on strong painkillers... that's my excuse anyway.. Lol..
Thanks for visiting..
I'll be back when I can..

Oriental card

I was actually inspired while visiting the dentist today!! can you believe that!.. I saw a tiny little oriental card on the distant wall behind the receptionists desk.. all I could see was the black oriental bridge and some trees..(my eyes are bad Lol)... but enough for it to spark my imagination knowing what stamps I have with one of my oriental lady new digital stamps.

I have used an 8" x 8" card base, stamping several of my bonsai trees leaving the pots un inked... coloured them with promarker pens. I made the oriental style bridge (well it looks it to me anyway - artistic licence Lol).. using the large lattice Martha Stewart punch. The Roses are ones I made a while back . After adding some pink punched flowers, I added some sequins and tiny rhinestones to embellish. The lady is coloured with promarkers and then I used a glue pen to add red foil in a pattern. I feel quite pleased with myself... and I have really inky fingers Lol!!

Here's my card

Thanks for visiting today... See you soon
