Christmas Rose Wreath (by Judith)

 Hello everyone, I am sharing my final post for September with you today, showcasing another of the stamp sets featured on last month's TV shows. I have chosen to pick one of the little worker stamps from the Christmas Rose Script stamp set to create a wreath. These are always popular projects, and I enjoy making them.

I drew an oval lightly onto a piece of kraft paper with pencil and a die, before stamping the image several times. I used Versafine Clair in a dark brown tone. I added a sentiment in the middle from the Holly Script stamp set. I cut a couple of masks for the little flower image, and moving around the oval, I added some sprigs of foliage from the Robin the Spruce stamp set to fill in the gaps, moving the masks as I went along.

I coloured the flowers with pencils, starting with the lightest colours first. Finally I added some white dots with liquid colour to lift the whole piece. You could use white acrylic paint to create this effect.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care,

Judith xx

Christmas Wishes

 Hello

I am sharing some of my samples made for the recent shows on The Craft Store.

The stamps I have used are Holly Script, Poinsettia Script, Mistletoe Script and Christmas Rose Script. These stamps are all available individually and as a multi buy.

I thought a set of these cards would make a lovely gift so I have made them all in the same way - stamped in archival and coloured with watercolour pencils. I them mat and layered onto some toning card. I finished with a few sequins, but by the time they to Lesley most had fallen off! Oops, must get some stronger glue!

Mistletoe Script

Poinsettia Script

Holly Script

Christmas Rose Script

My last card today is an Accordion Card which uses the smaller "worker" stamps. The beauty of this style of card is that you can make it with as many panels as you want.

Thanks for looking
