Good morning everyone, Brenda here to share a few of my samples from Lesley's recent Hochanda shows featuring the romantic steampunk stamps.
My first share above uses one of the most beautiful floral images from the new A Heart Full of Love stamp sheet. I used a brayer and Distress Inks to create background, I wanted a fairly random finish so went in different direction with three different coloured inks. I then used Versaine black to stamp the images in each corner and also onto three chipboard circles which I had also covered with the same DI's. The flowers are all coloured in with pencils and paints, the circles raised on foam pads and some liquid pearl dots.

Using Versafine Clair black I stamped the broken hearts from A Heart Full of Love onto acetate and placed card over and rubber to transfer the image, I did this four time and then stamped again in Clair red and matched them up, one was actually going in the opposite direction but I decided I quite like the variation........artistic licence. Next I used sentiments from the various sets in the show to stamp between the hearts.
The background panel was created using the heart stamp from Punky Hearts and Versafine Clair ink. The base of the focal image is a 600gsm piece of cardstock painted with acrylic pain and covered with crackle glaze, sanded down and stamped with one of the stamps from Punky Romance using Versamark and heat embossed using cobalt blue sparkle EP. I also stamped some hearts from Punky Hearts across the top.
Lastly a small 7x7 canvas covered with black gesso, then stamped with the clocks from Punky Romance and heat embossed with detail copper EP twice to give more depth. Next I some interest to the corners with a stencils and texture paste and liberal coatings of copper gilding wax. The heart and bird are from Fluttering Hearts stamped and embossed with detail copper EP, fixed onto the canvas along with some Little Birdie flowers. sentiment and twine.
Have a good day and as always my thanks for popping into our blog today.

Four fantastic cards Brenda, and I love the pretty all over flower stamping, just a little different with the three flowery circles in the middle, and the wonderful contrast btween the red and the black on the second with the split hearts and some small stamps in the background. Then the large stamp in a more grungy look with the crackle glaze complemented beautifully by the all over heart background, and finally the wonderful canvas in the gold tones and with lots of texture with the stencilling and the added flowers and dimensional heart and bird. x
