A Compilation of Favourites

Hello everyone, I hope that you are all keeping well. I am going to share a few golden oldie projects with you today that feature stamps from last month's TV shows on Hochanda. These projects are favourites of mine using these stamps, and I thought that you would not mind seeing them again.

The first three projects feature stamps from the perfumery range of stamps:

Butterfly Perfumery

 

This card was created using a Brusho background, and I used a scrap piece of the same background for the perfume bottle.

Floral Perfumery

I created a Distress Ink background, and painted the image with toning colours.

Rose Perfumery

Another Brusho background for this wreath card. I added a bit of sparkle to the roses, although it is hard to see on this photo.

The final projects are from A Tomte Christmas stamp set:

I used a stamp from Trees a Crowd to create the scene, using first and second generation stamping. Some grey ink was added to ground the trees.

Music paper makes a great background for the card and acrylic tag.

These little gnomes are so versatile for cards and tags, and I know that you have been busy making cards and tags yourselves this year with them.

I will be back later in the month with some new projects to share with you, thanks so much for stopping by. Take care, and stay safe, xx

Flowers, Butterflies, and Lots of Colour!

Hello everyone, I have a couple of projects to share with you today, showcasing the lovely Perfumery range of stamps that we aired on last month's TV shows on Hochanda. I am focusing on some of the smaller stamps in the sets this time, rather than the larger perfume bottles.

To create my first project, I stamped the rose image from the Rose Perfumery stamp set five times onto a piece of Drawing Cartridge, masking it each time. I stamped the leafy sprig in the gaps to create a wreath shape.

I added some Turquoise, Sea Green and Ultra Marine Brushos and spritzed the background with water before removing the masks. I coloured the flowers and leaves with the same colours of Brushos that I had used for the background, and added a bit of Stickles for sparkle. I stamped the sentiment in the centre, and picked out the letters with a white gelli roll pen.

To create my second card, I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Perfumery stamp set onto fabric which I had gessoed three times, using Archival Ink. I coloured the butterflies with Colourcraft fabric paint, watered down slightly, and cut them out, leaving a small border.

I found a background in my stash box which matched the butterflies, and stamped a sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear embossing powder. I attached the butterflies, and drew some stitched lines using a black permanent fineliner pen. A matching coloured card was used as matting layer.

I will be back next month, with some more fabric based samples to share with you. Thanks for stopping by, xx
