 Today we made cards using Distress Inks making some splat backgrounds. The brighter the colours the better. These cards were great fun to make and would make a great gift for any age, No two cards were the same as you can see from the ladies finished cards.

 Spring is in the Air.........with all the spring flowers popping up in the garden we thought we would use the John Lockwood stamp set - Primrose. We know that it is an older stamp set but it worked perfectly with these cards and the stitched edge ribbon weaved added the finishing touch.
