a couple of cards using indigoblu stamps

the card below is an indigoblu stamp done in sepia, then matted onto dark brown and then kraft card,

and edged in Sheffield steel gilding flakes, the father's day is a docrafts sentiments, and the happy is stamped with small alphabet blocks.

The background is the same stamp as the main image, but only using part of it.

I am entering this into 

challenge 16 monochromatic @

this one is done in various shades of blue, the indigoblu penny farthing, was stamped and gilded with Lancashire roses flakes, as was the docrafts sentiment.

These were then die cut and inked around the edges in blue, and the main image matted onto blue card,

then blue bakers twine was knotted around the sentime

a little bird house

I bought some paper mache bird houses ages ago, and have finally got round to decorating one of them.

I firstly painted it with acrylic paints, pink at the bottom, and a lovely purple shimmery one for the roof.

Then I stamped the small indigoblu music, and gilded with lancashire rose flakes.

I am really quite pleased with the outcome, looks pretty.
