Celtic Digi Stamp Card

I haven't had much time for crafting this past few days  I've been busy gardening but I have managed to make one card tonight

I chose two of the Celtic Digi Stamps from Free Craft Downloads


I used
Celtic008
Celtic010
I also used one of the Celtic backing papers from the site too I thought it would go nice with the stamps
The one I chose was Celtic1 red

I resized the Digi stamps  to 6cm x 6cm  I chose to colour them with glitter pens I used a red one, and a gold one and coloured the spaces with a clear sakura gelly roll pen   It's a bit difficult to see the glittery effect from the picture but when the card catches the light it sparkles quite nicely

I printed the celtic backing paper on to an A4 sheet of white card  then  folded in half (tent fold)  in the middle of the card I added a strip of  brown pearl paper and edged it with gold border peel offs running across the middle I added another gold border peel off.
After colouring the stamps I cut around the edges and used silicone glue to stick them on to the brown pearl paper  to the centre of each celtic stamp  I added a triangular gem  red to the two outer ones and amber to the central one
I haven't' added  a greeting to this card  I think it's better without one  and can be used for a number of  occasions
