Flower Stamp Pocket Card

 Another pocket card for my Random Scraps Album using another of the scrapbook paper 'stamps'. The pink base card was left over from another project as was the brown card. I used a woodgrain embossing folder on the brown piece which was only just big enough. I added a tiny scrap of the Crafty Individuals paper and a couple of punched leaves. The retro flowers were punched out and a couple of gems were added.

Monthly Challenge - October

 This month's letter is:               

                                    N for Number

The only colour choice was Navy Blue (but I haven't used it).

I decided to give my Tim Holtz Umbrella Man an airing - I'd love to say it was because he has lots of numbers on him but that was pure coincidence. With the help of my stamping platform and Versafine onyx black I was able to stamp all the detail clearly. After masking the image I revived some excess ink (it may have been twisted citron Oxide) that was on my plastic mat with a few spritzes of water and ran the card through it. When dry I added a small flourish, another TH image, randomly over the card with pumice stone DI. This was followed by a couple of Paper Artsy number stamps with a Kaleidacolor ink pad and Versafine onyx black. Finally I filled in some gaps with a TH dot stencil and Impress poppy red. I removed the mask and added the text in Memory Box's Parker font.
