I was asked to make a card using Catus, desert type things and so I went through my stash and found 2 set that fit the bill. This first card is made with the Simon Hurley set he released a few months ago. It’s a complete set with stencils stamps and dies. To make the card I used dye and oxides inks to et the result I wanted.
For the second card I use the Simon Hurley stencil again for the background but used a stamp set I bought on Amazon for the banner. The set was $7 for the 4x6 stamp set. The stamps are very soft but did stamp just fine.
