Direct to card stamping - Oriental Kraft

Hello,

I've been making up a few card designs to sell.  (Still haven't got round to opening an Etsy shop yet!).

I think when designing cards to sell it is always best to keep it simple so that many can be made in a short space of time.  It took me just an hour to make 7 of these oriental themes cards.

I am loving Kraft card at the moment and stamping images in black Archival Ink with a highlight of colour is really effective.

The main stamp here is The Calligraphy Robe from Stampington. The tree branch and sitting bird are from Inkylicious and the flying bird - Crafty Individuals CI-234.

The White flowers we drawn using a Uni Posca Round tip/ultra fine white paint pen.






 Already sold 5 - better make some more........

Thanks for stopping by.

Looooove your cards Lesley....and this is so gorgeous!
I owe you such a loooong email, but have to work all day, and there is so much to tell. I am thinking of you always.
Hugs!

Gorgeous and well done - I never sell anything I make - perhaps I should give it a go, may provide some extra pennies!! That white pen looks fab - I've never found a really good one!

Love the black ink stamp with the white on the flowers Lesley...the kraft background just makes it all "pop"...would be a different feel and look if you'd done this on regular white or cream cardstock. I think the Kraft adds that perfect aged/vintage feel!

Very pretty! I have the same stamp of the woman...love how you used it here.

Carol Q said...

ooh, love the simplicity of this.

Such a beautiful design.. So smart to keep it a little bit simple. I love to pile in on when I make my cards but they are so hard to mail..

I do hope you are enjoying your week so far!!

Hugs, Linda

Very pretty card Lesley. Oh you must open an etsy shop...it's the easiest thing and gives you another place to send those who want to see your work.
Besides, you are so creative and what you create is always beautiful.
