New stamps for the new year

On Sunday I blogged a card made with my new stamp made specially for me by Mi Ran  https://www.etsy.com/shop/artbymiran

Well now Paulette from Create with TLC has made a sentiment to go with the stamp and it is now on her blog as Monday Freebie.  Just go to the blog and follow her and you can download her free stamps.

So I have made another card

I have printed "Brianna Stamping" on white layered onto purple.   Printed papers from Imagine that School Papers and Create with TLC "Is it Spring Yet" papers.  Layered Brianna stamping on top.  Added ribbon and layered all onto purple paper.

This is the sketch this week at Sketch Saturday

I have followed the sketch but used a square in the middle instead of an oval because that suited the stamp better.

Art by Miran is offering this lovely stamp free on her blog at present http://artbymiran.blogspot.com.au/

Have a look at the lovely cards there and on her facebook page

My special new digital stamp

I received a lovely gift to brighten my day yesterday.  Mi Rang Jung has made a special stamp for me of my grand daughter stamping.  You can buy it in her shop
https://www.etsy.com/shop/artbymiran
She is called Brianna Stamping

Mi Rang also has a lovely freebie image on her blog if you become a follower
artbymiran.blogspot.com

This is the first card I made with my new stamp.   My colouring is not the best as I have eye problems.

I have layered pieces of two papers from Imagine That "School day" papers onto purple card.  Have printed Brianna stamping, layered onto papers and coloured her with markers.  Typed sentiment with word art.
