My brayer has been getting a good workout lately. This is an idea I had after I taught brayering in one of my techniques classes.

I brayered the sky and sea, then sponged the sun. I used Basic Black to stamp the leaves and bird using my Vintage Vogue and Silhouette Sentiments stamp sets. The greeting comes from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and I also used my scallop trim border punch. 

Give it a try yourself!

If you're a little nervous about brayering why not book a workshop and I'll show you how....

Here is another of this year's christmas cards - this time from my Techniques class, where we covered how to use the embossing folders with the Big Shot, but leave a smooth section in the middle.

For this card I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and Vintage Vogue set, which looks quite festive when teamed up with Pear Pizzazz and Real Red. I finished it off with a greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

More Vintage Vogue...

Ok, it's been quite a while since I blogged, and this card has been waiting to be posted here for quite some time! Here it is - Vintage Vogue again but still my favourite set. I used Always Artichoke and Rich Razzleberry, which matched beautifully with the Cottage Garden DSP I used.

This is a great way to embellish your cards and use up those scraps of DPS - the 2-Way glue pen is an ideal adhesive for these small pieces - no mess!

I have this set in the new 'clear mount' style, wich is great for me as it makes storage so much easier. Click here to read more about clear mount stamps or e-mail me to place your order - denise@letsgetstamping.com

I'm Loving Vintage Vogue

Below is an easel card using the new Vintage Vogue Set ($38.95) from the new Autumn-Winter mini catalogue (Click the image to your right to view the catalogue online)

I will be teaching Easel cards in my next Fancy Folds class in the 7th April - there are still a couple of places available so e-mail me today if you would like to come along...

I love this set as it's so versatile. I've got so many plans for it! It's also great for many different techniques so keep an eye on my blog for more ideas....
