dreaming beauty (by Veronica)


I love the Mackintosh stamps and sentiments, and had great fun playing with them, as did everyone else on the DT!
The lovely lady from Mackintosh beauty was stamped first using a blue inkpad, then masked with masking tissue. the background was created using the now-traditional torn paper for the landscape and a moon mask in the sky, with the castle from fantasy castles. The grasses are from the baroque meadow single stamp, and the trees use a stamp from silhouette  grasses. The lady was coloured with watercolour pencils.








My second card just used the lady on her own, again coloured with pencils, this time with a distress oxide inked background.The base card was randomly stamped with two of the single rose stamps using the same distress oxide inks.

  1. I love them both Veronica. They show just how different the same stamp can look if you use different backgrounds. Thank you for sharing. X

  4. This Macintosh lady is a beautiful image and I love both versions. The scenery is really pretty, and the oxide inks have made a gorgeous sort of misty backgound on the second, and I adore the colours Veronica. x
