My first Cardio card


It is good to try something completely different at times and these Cardio stamps are very different to the type of stamps I normally use. This is my first, well ok second attempt with them. The first attempt went in the bin but I am really pleased with the way this one turned out. It was very strange to step away from papers and embellishments to create a different style of card. We watched a demo at Peterborough and I used small ink pads the way we were shown to add colour. I added just a couple of diecut IO trees. The sentiment is from a set I bought at Peterborough. I really like the way the snow turned out too and the glitter actually shows on the photo. I am having such fun with these stamps and I will be sharing some more with you soon.

What a super scene you have created Marianne and a lovely inky sky, I dabbled with the idea of buying some of those stamps but then decided I have rather a lot of animals already and needed more flowers -as if.

Your card is perfect for our two themes, many thanks for joining in at Allsorts and Stamping Sensations challenges.

This card is so different from your other makes but it is still beautiful. I think sometimes less is more and definitely so with this card. Simply stunning.

I find with the cardio stamps the hardest thing is to know when to stop stamping!
I love your winters scene, you've got it just right, love the touch of colour and sparkle.

Kat W said...

Fabulous card and I definitely think trying new things keeps the creativity flowing. You've done a wonderful job of creating a lovely Winter scene with the hint of colour in the sky and all that pretty sparkle.
I have quite a few Card-io stamps and absolutely adore them...I keep trying to find more time to play with them whilst still using my beloved Copics...and Inktense...and die cutting...I think I love trying too many new things!
Big hugs, Kat xx
