Hi all, I loved the free stamp on the front of August Craft Stamper. I loved the samples on pages 6 and 7 even more, and really liked the look of the stamp sheets available from ISC. Their website is http://www.innovativestampcreations.com/ I had seen this company mentioned before, and really like their stamps. Anyway, I decided to make the following birthday card for my friend using some of their stamps.
I have used a sheet of Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby paper stack in a grey colour, which is great, because you can use whatever colour Distress Inks you like on it. I have used Tumbled Glass, Victorian Velvet, and Dusty Concord. I have made two flowers, stamping large and small flowers onto the same paper, and over stamping the dictionary definition stamp onto them. I have used the same colour DIs, and then scrunched them up, and put a large brad in the middle. I have used the lovely girl's face from the 'Friendship' plate, I love this stamp, it is so expressive. I have coloured it with Coloursoft pencils and Zest it. I have used a little bit of Bazzil, and a piece of cream lace and there you go! A card with my friend's favourite colours and techniques all rolled into one. I am sure that I will be using these stamps a lot more, as they are really lovely,; there are some more flowers, some butterflies, and a linen weave background. There are some beautiful sentiments, so I will be busy for a while. Watch this space! Thanks for looking, and any comments would really be appreciated, Judith xx

It was a gorgeous freebie stamp wasn't it. I must admit it is fast becoming a favourite of mine. I love the image you've used it on. Again, another favourite. The colours are beautiful too.

Beautiful card, Judith. The colours are gorgeous and as you say, that face is just so expressive. Love the flowers too.
This is gorgeous Judith. Love the colours and I love that girl too. So much so, that I bought the same set ages ago and forgot all about it which means it's not in my stamp drawers. Uh, Oh, where on earth have I put that!!!
Your friend's going to love this card I'm sure.

I loved the freebie stamp too and am tempted with some of the others particularly now I've seen this lovely card.
What a lovely card Judith - really like the girl's face, the colours you have used go so well with that stamp. I really liked that freebie too, it has seen quite a bit of use
I love the card, me too I have the freebie stamp, now that I see your beautiful card, I have to do something with it asap :)
A gorgeous card Judith, I love that lilac colour scheme and that main image is very stroking. I love your flowers, they work really well.
