Decoupage rocks

Lockdown has given me chance to play with some materials I've had stashed away for years. 

I have an old wooden sewing box that needs revamping so I thought I'd have a little practise on some stones as I haven't done decoupage for quite a few years now.  I thought they would make good paper weights when working in the garden.

Although I think the larger stone is a little too big and heavy for use on a glass top table  so this one will probably end up as a doorstop.

Floral Cards

 This card was an experiment to try out my new "Burlap"  background stamp.

I got a little carried away and ended up using stamps from five different sets for this one: Burlap background, You've got this, Riveting, Sharing is caring,  and You've got this.

I coloured the flowers with Copic Markers.

For the  second version, I used the retired Background stamp called
" Friendly".

I haven't added a sentiment to this one yet as I don't know what occasion this will be used for,  or who this card will be sent to.

Christmas Ornament Punch

This is very similar to a card I posted a few weeks ago but this time I have used the New Christmas Ornament punch from Stampin up.
This is not the exact shape and size of the punch as I shaved a little off the end to used on another project and this was the piece that was left over. I hate wasting card and I decided to use this slightly reduced ornament shape anyway.
So I daubed the edges with cherry cobbler ink, embossed the snowflakes with silver embossing powder and added a knot of real red grosgrain.
I then stamped the flourish from the season of joy stamp set onto white card stock using the basic grey ink pad, stuck the bauble over the lower part of the flourish and stamped Merry Christmas at the bottom.
Finally, I mounted the whole thing onto real red card stock.
