Using Card Candi

 I had a customer ask me what she could do with card candi. I had a number of old cards on show but decided to do some more as an idea for July's workshops. mainly I looked at different flowers we could produce but as you will see I have also I used them for butterflies, caterpillars and ladybirds. They can also be used as roof tiles or on peel offs and stamps with circles in them.




Looks like a couple of cards are missing but they can be seen in store.

A flower & a snail...

 This stamp from Françoise Read I have done in a few different ways for July's workshops with different backgrounds.

 You need to read the last 3 posts from today in reverse to get the story for this month's workshops. 

Seaside dreamcatcher

 This was my new stamp for the month , again used with the spray ink backgrounds and this month's stencils plus a die from last summer




New Stencil backgrounds

 Same idea as before - produce backgrounds - this time with stencils (pasted, embossed, inked, spayed) and put them with stamps and stencils which could be used for male cards.



Using sprays that don't spray for backgrounds

 A number of my sprays have blocked so I have looked at alternative ways of using them for backgrounds..

It's Father's Day month so the time of year for male cards (although many are also suitable for females).

I have used different dies and stamps from my stash with the backgrounds produced.
