February New Stamps

It's the first of the month and you know what that means - we have new stamps!

Our Stamp of the Month is this gorgeous A4 Woodland Fantasy.

 If you liked Woodland Dreams, this will go with it beautifully.

Then we have two smaller A5 rubber sets, the first is Spring is in the Air

and a great partner to it is Spring Foliage

I made this tree card with PanPastels and the Spring Foliage stamps which were stamped in Versamark and rubbed over with the paler pastel colours.  The flowery trees were stamped separately with Versafine, coloured with pencils and decoupaged onto the background.

I used the asymmetrical tree from Woodland Fantasy as a border around the edge - it works so well for that I can see I'll be using it for more than just a tree.

The sentiment is from Artistic Expressions. 


I also made a couple of ATCs 

 

I smudged this one a bit, but I like the layering of the foliage in the background - I used very pale coloured Archival inkpads for both the stamping and the background colours.

 

On this one, I wanted to create a scene of the first new flowers poking through the snow.  I used an Inkssentials white gel pen to whiten the snowdrop flowers and create some snow on the ground, but to make it stand out, I shaded some dark blue pencil around the ground and flowers.

All these stamps are at introductory prices until February 28th 2013 (that includes trade prices too). I'm also going to be doing a random giveaway so please leave us a comment below and who knows, you could be the lucky winner of a stamp set.

The girls have some great artwork to show you with these stamps - I've been oohing and aahing at the previews I've seen - you're going to love them!
