DI'S DIGISTAMPS

With a $12 gift voucher

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Some inspiration from the DT

I hope you like my little Birdie and his Home!

Yvonne

Homemade stamped base paper and a bird perched on his branch.

Josephine

I used a stamp from Crafty Individuals which I split into four. Images are coloured with Promarkers and background is embossed and shaded with Pan Pastels.

Vania

Julie

My Owl and branch were cut on my Cameo and the background was done using Adirondack inks and ink dusters.

Marie

I used a digital image from Nicecrane Designs printed onto watercolor paper. GA added to birds for depth and to add a little shine. Frame cut with Cameo and the resin flower I made myself.

Cindy

A very simple little tag from me, the main image is creating by running the distressed background through a cuttlebug folder and then adding some more ink to bring out the detail.

Jackie

A clean and simple card utilising some background paper I found in my stash, some ribbon and a stamp from creative expressions.

Kimx

I have used the same fabulous Hobby Art stamp set that we have as one of our prizes for my card.

Lin

I created a birdcage from a Tim Holtz die. See my blog for details
