Free Stamps with Magazine

Good Morning All
I will be on my way to the airport when this post goes live, going to visit family.
****
I was lucky to get my hands on the Creative Stamping magazine 57
from Joanna sheen before it sold out.
I thought this would be a great set for all sorts of cards, men included.





I watched Maria and Barbara from Clarity on TV  and they blend the inks with large brushes to make a background.
The nearest thing I had was an old blusher brush.


Not too bad for a first attempt.








I used various Izinkz.






I decided to test nearly all the stamps by making a set of cards to go in a box for the Dog Rescue charity to have for a raffle prize.

I kept all the cards flat, without embellishments, very difficult to do!!!!!!









Then made a box from some sturdy card.




Stamped some more images for the front.






Added some nice ribbon to keep closed.

With a scrap of grosgrain ribbon grass pattern.
