Steampunk birds by Rachel

Good Morning! Its time for my first post of a new year. Here's hoping its going to be a good year - and a post with some inspiration involved! Today I am sharing some makes from the December shows - I love these stamps and have been waiting for them to come to Hochanda - I'll step you through how I made each card.

In this first one I started by creating the landscape using masks and ink then overstamped with punky flowers plus one of the steampunk birds. I coloured them in using water colour pencils. The sentiment came from the Punky Experssions sheet.

In this one I first used a mask and some inks to create the arch then I added the cockerel from the steam punk birds set and coloured him using water colour pencils. The sentiment came from the Punky Expressions sheet.

To make this card I used lots of images from the steampunk birds sheet and stamped them on kraft in versamark and set using white embossing powder before fussy cutting. For the background I used versamark on black card with the punky flowers then brushed over luscious powders. Finally I added the fussy cut images and a sentiment from the punky expressions set.

For this final card I created the background using a stencil and brushos. The bird was stamped separately and fussy cut and added. Finally I added the sentiment from the punky expressions sheet.

I hope this has given you some inspiration as to how to use your stamps.

Hugs
