These are simply stamped with just a hint of Copic colouring on the images (very pale and very light-handed so there's no bleed-through on the single layer cards). I die cut a square in a piece of acetate to use as a mask and sponged on the ink for a block of colour. Acetate's great for this as it means you can see exactly where you're positioning the mask's aperture in relation to the image and the edges of the card.
I sold enough stuff that I was able to put just over £40 (my profits) into the village hall fund which was good. The fair seemed busy most of the day, with Santa's grotto doing a particularly brisk trade!

These are lovely Joanne. I bet you had no trouble at all selling them.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder they sold so well - they are gorgeous! I'd be interested to know how you priced them. Buyers at craft fayres I've sold at always seem to expect to buy cards mega-cheap because they are 'only handmade'. Jo x
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful and classy, Joanne, as usual. Well done on selling so much, but I'm not surprised xxx
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely Joanne - I'm not surprised you sold a lot of them! I think I have that stamp set - I must dig it out again, thanks for the reminder!
