Don't you just love Versatility ? (by Doreen)

 Don't you just love Versatility ?

Hello everyone, for todays blogpost I have included several different makes, all from the same wonderful set of stamps along with a couple of other stamps from other sets.

The stamp set is one of the brilliantly designed word strip sets A4 Slim Word Strip 2 the other sets used are Rejoice! and A Tomte Christmas. I have used several different techniques which I am fairly certain you are familiar with they are Distress Inks applied with blending brushes mainly either to use on their own or through stencils or to colour Chocolate Baroque Black and White printed DL card. Versafine Clair Inkpads are also used throughout in Black, Dark Blue, Versamark with White Embossing powder.

If you have any questions on any of the above card do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you for looking in today

Love Doreen

Summer Fair lady (by Miranda)

Hi there,

When I first saw the new designs of these women faces ...I was in love........so I was very happy to be able playing with them and this is my first one.........she is called 'Summer Fair' and I have combined her with one of the lovely ornament stamps called ' Palm Fan Baroque ornament'. 

I stamped the lady using light coloured inks than masked her and stamped the ornament using a grey ink. 

Than the fun part started.....colouring both with color pencils, took me a while..........When I was finished coloring I gave some accents using a gold gelly pen and a white marker.

Hope I did inspire you with this one and I will be back with more of these lovelies soon.........in the mean while enjoy all the beautiful artwork of the DT!

Thanks for visiting and till next time,

in the night garden

 Sometimes I do have to wonder if I am a total idiot - why, when the stamp so obviously shows a hot summer day scene, do I want to try a night version, and even worse, a snowy one?
Anyhow, here are the results, so you can judge for yourselves!


Another brick in the wall garden stamped onto grey card using black Memento ink, coloured with a mix of promarkers and pencils. I was trying to get the impression of light seeping out through the shutters.
Black matt onto a white15x15cm base card

Same stamp, this time stamped in brown ink onto kraft card, coloured with pencils.
Mostly I just used white pencil , with brown and green for the foliage and the shutters. I also used a white chalk marker pen to add the snow highlights.
Again a black matt and a 15x15 white card base

Thanks for looking, (even if you do agree that I am mad!) and keep checking for the more normal posts from the rest of the girls.....and there are some beauties coming up......
