The Magic....

The magic of a new stamp set... the ideas flow so fast, it's hard to get them done in one design session but this idea jumped to mind as soon as I saw "Crafting Forever".

I can't wait to show you the whole stamp set....

I used:

• "Crafting Forever" stamp set (w-143955,c-143958)
• "Timeless Textures" stamp set (w-140514,c-140517)
• Ticket Tear Border punch (143718)
• Fresh Floral DSP stack (144131)
• Delightful Daisy DSP (144137)

Happy Tuesday!

MM163 - Wax seal technique...

Today would have been my Father's 89th birthday!   He was a wonderful Father and a very hard worker.   He was both a farmer and full-time tool and die maker supervisor!   He worked in the same factory for 47 years.... Can you imagine that??   Wow!  

So today is also "Manly Monday" and I've used a favourite and 'long standing' stamp set - Lovely As a Tree!

I first stamped a collage background and then used the oak leaf stamp and the Wax Seal technique for the focal point!

Check out my video on this technique to refresh your memory!

On my card I used:

• "Lovely As A Tree" stamp set (w-128655,c-127793)
• "Gorgeous Grunge" stamp set (w-130514,c-130517)
• "Timeless Textures" stamp set (w-140514,c-140517)
• "B.Y.O.P." stamp set (ph-137159)
• "You've Got This" stamp set (w-139572,c-139575)
• gold embossing powder

Try this technique for your next masculine card.
