This weeks colour challenge at the Play Date Cafe is "A splash of Blue".
To make the background on this card I first inked the poppy stamp with Broken China distress ink, then I inked my Lace Background stamp with Chipped Sapphire ink, I kissed the two together then stamped onto card. I then embossed with clear embossing powder.
This morning I went to a Car Boot sale (like a Garage Sale ) on the green where I live and managed to find two boxed sets of Hero Arts stamps, Ribbon Greetings and Fancy Ribbons, they were both a bargain price so I was really pleased and couldn't wait to get home and ink them up.
The top section of the card was made using the same technique as the blue card above only this time I made three images and cut them in three different sizes. I then pop dotted them together.
I stamped the message using one of my new ribbon stamps. Hope you have all had a great weekend, there is another football match on tonight that DH wants to watch so I can play with my new stamps.

Love your kissing effect, Sally! Both cards turned out beautifully!
Just glorious! I love the poppy stamp but haven't tried it yet....and you've inspired me again. Hadn't ever considered the 'kissing' technique for the background....OR the stacked series of images. Great!
Just saw your beautiful card on the Play date cafe challenge. Love your blog! How lucky is that coming across those wonderful stamps at a car boot sale!
