On Your Marks...On My TippyToes...Ssssshhhhhh

...ooooh, today is my day for a Gingersnap Creations tutorial and I have been let loose with some ProMarkers and been able to wax lyrical about them on the Gingersnaps Blog :O)) I have used some divine Stampotique stamps... you know, those that peeps either love or hate??? Well, I happen to love them all... they are quirky, cute and very definitely coming into my top ten list of fave stamps... you know I said I am a stamp tart, I have soooo many fave stamps that it is impossible to choose just one favourite...so I have compiled a top ten... amongst the top ten are also the Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 designs... I love all of those.. they are all my faves! See, there is no helping me!




So, to see the Tut and the "deets" on how I made this card, you can click HERE and as if by magic, you will be teleported over to the US of A to the Gingersnaps blog... erm... if you are already in the US of A then you will still be teleported, it just won't take as long to get there ROFL *mmm, I think I may have had just a soupcon too much time in the sunshine yesterday afternoon*





Anyways... the title suggests that I am on my tippytoes today - and whispering to you instead of talking in my usual Foghorn Leghorn voice... well, I have to be for the week really, no thumping about like a baby elephant for me this week cos my loverly Grim is on night shift... which poses a problem, not only will I have to turn Alfie into a Guard Cat to protect his Mummy from the dark (and the Daddy LongLegs'), it also means that my Room of Stash will be out of bounds while Grim sleeps during the day... so, do I turn my days around and do night shift too? Or, do I get a big bundle of stash, take it downstairs, take over the dining room and make art in there? Or, should I be patient (ha!) and wait til Grim is up and about??? Ah, what to do! Thing is, I know for deffo, if I even so much as take an inkpad downstairs, I will end up taking over the dining room and there will be stash cast all around the house... Anyways.. whilst I ponder this I shall bid you a goodly day *apparently, it is going to rain here ... lots of rain... which means... it is going to be cooler...hurrah and thrice!!!! Now, where was I???* Ah, yes, just about to say that... the stamps used on this card are available from The Stamp Attic... whatcha fink of what I did with the "Two Sticks" stamp? If you look at the Tut you will see what I am waffling on about... anyways (again) I am offski... time for me to get some muchly needed beauty sleep... TTFN

Lovely card Hels - it is a "happy" Stampotique card which I really like - usually they are dark and dismo but this one is so colorful! I love those stamps too, but I haven't inked them up yet, ha, ha still just stroking them - the little flowers are gorgeous!
Hugs,
Cardarian

I totally love your card Hels. The colouring is great. Creations using Stampotique's fab images are usually a tad gothic and your's is, as Nan said, a very bright and happy card. Off to look at the tut now.
