Hi there,
Today I show you you two creations made with the lovely Song Thrush stamp. It's also available in a silhouette variation.
On the background which I've made with fluid inks(like Ecoline) and water misting I've used the beautiful Sunny Sunflowers. I stamped them with Distress inks and a white ink too. The center is accentuated with glitter. The bird panel is embossed with Wow silver embossingpowder and coloured with water based markers. If you don't have markers than you can use the fluid inks or the Distress inks and a water brush to color the image.
I've embossed a flower and some leaves from the sunny sunflowers and decoupaged them.
The other one is made on a background made by our 9 year old son. He pretty much enjoys it to get messy and play with inks and water. ( like his mother) He coloured also the first layer of the bird panel with pencils and I did finish it by shading and a more intense coloring. I stamped the fragment of the Lace fragments onto the background and also embossed some using the fabulous Wow Sensational Sage embossing powder. It really is sensational! It's a shame that I can't catch it on the photo.
Well, hope to have inspired you! Thanks for your visit, please ask if you have any questions and hope to see you next time!
Wat mooi! Doet me denken aan van die mooie zware fluwelen stoffen die voor gordijnen en kussens gebruikt worden en die vind ik ook heel mooi! Fijn weekend, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteHello Miranda
ReplyDeleteWonderful that your son is becoming involved in your Artwork!
I think inspiration is for all ages, and should be encouraged!
Again lovely colours, and lovely work Miranda, and son!
Take care
Love Marg
Oh, mein Gott!

Diese fantastischen Farben, ich kann mich garnicht satt sehen :-)
Wundervoll, Miranda
Herzlichst Sophie
Oh zo mooi die achtergrond is ook zo mooi
ReplyDeletefijn weekend nog

Stunning cards, beautiful artwork
ReplyDeleteThe sunflowers are a super match for that panel & I particularly like the way your background is echoed by the decoupaged single flower which draws the eye to the flower above it on the bird panel. It's quite amazing to realise that it's the same panel that you've used for the second sample which is my favourite of the two - your combination of intensely patterned overstamped areas with the 'open spaces' of vibrant colour is striking. The shading your son's colouring of the focal panel combined with the absolute white of the panel itself makes for a very eye-catching design - I particularly like the way your highlights of the panel's petals are echoed by the glittery embossing of the background. Your masterstroke of deep purple matting bringing out the deep bluey berries gladdens my heart making it sing & smile! That may of course be black in real life but it looks purple/indigo.

Miranda, your cards never cease to amaze & inspire me - these are both so beautiful! I love both your colour choices, too - GORGEOUS!! I hadn't thought about getting this stamp before, but I am now :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely work,

They're both gorgeous, I especially like the colours on the first one, so rich.
ReplyDeletethis is really beautiful. I have only two Chocolate Baroque sets (so hard to get in the US) but I love so many and this one is definitely on my short list. Your coloring and shading is amazing!

ReplyDeleteJust one word for these. WOW
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Miranda, wow!! Coco x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this is so gorgeous. The time it must have taken you would have been time consuming. The results paid off. It's pretty cool that your son helped out.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are beautiful Miranda, and what a talented son you have. I love the contrast of dark background and light background on the toppers. The colours are all beautiful and the Song Thrush stamp is really lovely and the added sunflower and leaves enhances the first card perfectly. That second card background in those gorgeous greens and yellows and the prettily coloured topper helped along by your son's artistic hand is wonderful too. I just could not choose a favourite! x
ReplyDeleteWow what gorgeous cards Miranda. I love your colouring, so delicate looking, just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTwo really beautiful cards Miranda, hard to choose between the two. I love the softer colours of the first and Sunny Sunflowers makes such a beautiful backing. The combination of the silvery embossing and exquisite colouring is perfect. How brilliant your son was involved in the second. I love to think that card is a joint effort between you both, that is special! I love the colour combinations on that card, it feels like it captures the essence of fresh, new spring growth and as Paula said the indigo matting blends in so beautifully. Your son's colouring is incredibly accurate for his age and his Mum's shading adds that little something special! What a gift you are helping him to develop! Hope you are having a good weekend.

ReplyDeleteThese 2 are stunning! I love the backgrounds and I love the stamp and the colouring. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteStunning designs Miranda and your Son is most definitely developing a talent inherited from his Mum! Your skills with colour are second to none!
