 Small But Perfectly Formed 

I really can not believe that it is almost the end of January already, but for today I would like to share my third and final post of the month.

These samples use four sets of mini stamps that are just delightful, they are perfect for ATC projects, making frames, bookmarks, art for keyrings and the list goes on. 

This photo contains 3 Bookmarks simply made using just Versafine Clair Shady Lane and Distress Inkpad Vintage Photo.

 

This next card uses The Teeny Weeny Meadow  Versafine Clair Nocturne, Distress Oxide Abandoned Coral and Old Paper Inkpads.

Today I will be sharing some of my samples from last months newly launched designs by the talented Fiona Randall there are two A4 sets and to choose a favourite is nigh on impossible,

Celestial Rubber Stamp Set   and the 

Sacred Rubber Stamp Set

The first of my samples is using the Celestial Set, using Alcohol Inks and a Lift Out Inkpad which quite literally does as the name suggests.

Using Yupo and a selection of Alcohol Inks I used 3 different shades of blue. 

Ink up the stamp of choice with the Lift Out Inkpad as you would with any other Inkpad and stamp onto the prepared and dry Alcohol Ink background. Lift off after a few seconds which will have allowed the Inkpad to do its work. Do not waste what you have lifted from the background stamp it onto a spare piece of card or into a journal. Two for the price of one, that can't be bad can it ?? 

The next photo is from the Sacred Set using the same technique but a different colourway.

For another look you can also use Versamark and White Embossing Powder on the Heavyweight Yupo but add the heat in short bursts as because the Yupo is basically a plastic paper it tends to buckle if too much heat is applied to it.

These are fairly quick and addictive techniques but very effective, I hope you have enjoyed looking today.
