Highdesert Stamper – Artistic Inkspirations

Here’s a card we made last week. I cased it from my friend Sharon Field in Fla…but changed it up a bit.

Here’s what I added to the inside…..and a close up of the hearts….

Supplies use:

Fashionable Hearts Sizzlit, Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit, Full Heart Punch, Heart to Heart punch

Red Glimmer Paper, Whisper white Cardstock, First Edition Specialty Paper, Real Red Cardstock

RHR 1 1/4 striped grosgrain ribbon; 24 ga wire, Jewelry tag punch

Real Red ink

I used some small fine jewelry wire to attach the tags around the knotted ribbon. I am using up my Riding hood red ribbon on my cards, so as not to waste it!! I just love that ribbon.

Bet you thought you’d seen all the horses….well.. I had to make 4 cards…so I did them all a bit different. Here’s the one I sent to my granddaughter in Tenn. I braided the hemp along the side using a 4 strand macrame braid. The front is polished stone.

My granddaughter loves horses… so I had to make one for her. When you do  polished stone…the colors always come out different, even when you use the same mixes. I love the blue tones in this one. It was actually a green I used with some golds and oranges with gold metallic ink.

This week I’ve been working on a “mingle” swap for my OSA group, and cleaning up my stamp table (again). It seems it keeps getting covered up before I can put it all away.  While I had my “horse” stamps out for the OSA mingle, I decided to stamp some extra cards to send out. Here’s one I made using a unique style horse. It was really difficult to get enough ink to get all the fine lines stamped. I had to re-ink my stazon pad a few times to get enough ink on the silly stamp! Do you ever have that problem? It seems out here in the desert…things dry out so darn much, especially stamp pads!! It’s such a large stamp I didn’t add a whole lot around it.. just some minor distressing.  So here’s my horse for today. It’s not one for the mingle (didn’t want to show them til they got sent off and received by the gals in he group.

I distressed the edges a bit, sponged some on the white and put a black rhinestone for his eye. Don’t remember who made this stamp.
