Hello everyone, I hope that you are all keeping well. I am sharing more projects today from last month's TV shows on the Craft Store, where we showcased the fabulous Retro Vases and Retro Floral stamps. As I mentioned in my last post, if you would like these stamps, you can give Lesley or David a call at the unit, and they will take an order from you, as these stamps are not available on the website.
I decided to create a little scene for my first card. I used some torn strips of paper to create some hills, using Distress Ink and a blending brush. I added a circle mask to create a sun. Once the background was created, I chose some suitable silhouette stamps from the two sets and stamped those using various colours from the Versafine Clair range of inkpads. I used first and second generation stamping to create some depth to the foliage. The little butterfly stamp comes from the Butterfly Blush stamp set, so useful for this kind of scene. The sentiment comes from the Life is so much Better stamp set.
For this first card, I used an inky plate background.
For the second card, I used a Brusho background. Matting the layers onto black card adds more definition. The sentiments are from the Say it Vertically stamp set.
My final card was a quick card created straight onto a card blank. I stamped three vases using Versafine Clair ink, which I masked with Masking Tissue. I then coloured the floral staps with brush pens and stamped them above the vases, before removing the masks. I added a bit of shading with a grey pencil to 'ground' the vases.
I really had a lot of fun working with these stamps, and hope that you have found some inspiration in my projects. Thanks for stopping by, take care,
Judith xx

There is lots of scope with these stamps and you have used them beautifully Judith. I love the scene with lots of silhouette flowers and leaves and the sweet little butterflies, and then the two different coloured versions using circles and images over the top and perfect inky backgrounds too, which look great, and finally the simpler look of the three vases filled with the pretty flowers and love the straight to stamp colouring with brush pens which adds lots of interest to the silhouettes and a great sentiment too. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful inspirations with the Vases and Retro Floral stamps! The two cards stamped on fabric are so pretty and just LOVE the first and the last one, such fab designs and those sentiments compliment the cards perfectly!
