Laura Rumble - Crafter

I put this together with the leftovers from yesterday's layout... The papers were offcuts from the 'skyscrapers' and I added in some thin washi for an extra detail. A puffy stick and stamped sentiment make the focal point (I grey ink rather than black, as there was no black elsewhere on the card) and I finished with a sprinkle of sequins.

Heather’s card was perfectly crisp and simple black stamping on a white background with a flash of sparkly gold washi over the top.   That is my inspiration and starting point.   I grabbed my largest floral stamp (because we have to scale things up to 12x12) and my memory MISTI and started stamping.   Heather’s composition was focused on the bottom left corner which is how I started off my stamping.   I stamped on to scrap paper and cut out a mask.   This allows me to overlap my images whilst protecting the images I’ve already stamped.   I used a little Tombow Mono Multi on the back of the mask so it w...

Googly eyes.  Yep, we need to start a thing.  Let's get googly eyes trending in scrapbooking! I also have a second layout inspired by the sketch and using a Handipaper cut file (along with a border cut file that I made.) I've used mainly my Quirky...
