One of my new Digi-Stamp Frames made into a Card

Landscape Scene with Digi-Stamp
This card was made using my own designs of new Digi-Stamp Frames. I also used my own Build a Landscape set of stamps to create the scene inside.

The card itself was coloured with inks, spritzed onto a Glass mat and watered down. I then added mica ink and placed the cardstock on top to soak in the colours.
The image itself is coloured with Zig Markers and Pro Markers. Hope you like it.

For more Digi-Stamp images go to my website at http://www.christinescraftyart.com/
More to come in the very near future so watch this space.

NEW - DIGI-STAMPS NOW ON MY WEBSITE

At last, my  first batch of Digi-Stamps are now on my website and ready to purchase. The first Designs to go onto the site are Digi-Stamps of Corner Frames with Flowers and Ivy Leaves which can be used on Cards or Scrapbook pages.                                                                         
You can use the images in a variety of ways for example: - increase the size of the images on your computer so that they will match your main theme, colour them in with paints, markers or inks, add foils to the images - the list goes on and on.... .

Get creative and see what you can come up with. I would love to see your Designs so put them on your Blogs or send them to me via my website http://www.christinescraftyart.com/ (email addy on the last page) 


I love framing pictures with flowers so watch this space for some Cards that I have made using the images themselves. There will be more to come in future so watch this space for even more new Designs - I now need to get busy making Cards for my next few Demo's for DoCrafts but also can't wait to start Designing even more Digi -Stamps.   I'm planning a Christmas theme perhaps?  Sorry to mention Christmas in June but us Card-Makers prepare early.

I hope you like the images....
