First Try With Peg Stamps

I was watching Create and Craft this morning where the products being demonstrated were by Card-io stamps.  They specialise in peg stamps.  I have had several sets for ages and not really used them and was inspired to play!  Here is my first attempt using them.


The set I used is Oriental Blossom and the inks are various colours of VersaColour along with Coffee Archival.  The sentiment is a an old wooden Penny Black stamp which is one of my favourite birthday stamps.  I added a little Glamour Dust for sparkle.  I will be using my peg stamps a lot more now, they are definitely addictive!  I need lots more sets too!

I would like to enter this into The Crafting Musketeers challenge which is 'Summertime'.  Please hop over and see the DT fab projects and other entries.

I hope you are having a fab weekend.  Thank you so much for visiting me, I appreciate it so very much!  Take care! Christine xx

    This is very beautiful Chris and the idea of using the different colours for the stamping makes it all look so delicate

    Oh my! Beautiful card. This reminds me that I have a box of peg stamps by Rubber Stamp Tapestry that work like these. I need to pull those out again sometime.

    The soft colours in your wreath are very pretty. I never think of doing wreaths apart from Christmas but your Summer time one is lovely.

    Hi Chris,

    I don't know what a peg stamp is.... please explain. Or, maybe not. I don't need to find anything new!

    The card is very pretty. I can see why the sentiment stamp is one of your favorites. I love the font.

    Oh, gotta go check out your owl card!

    Hugs,
    Kay

    You have made a stunning card - I cannot get to grips with these stamps as how I try. I am well impressed. Certainly does not look like a first attempt.
    Hugs, Neet xx
