A Christmas Thank you.......


Good morning!!

Well, it's a new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges today and our new theme is 
"Winter or Spring". Please remember that the main focal point of your artwork MUST BE A STAMPED IMAGE AND NOT A DIGITAL ONE.

I'm sending out my Christmas thank you's at the moment so I'm sharing this one with you today.  I took some photo's along the way so shall we take our usual journey?


Let me introduce you to "Angel" - another outstanding rubber stamp by Pollyanna Pickering. Here I have started with my usual piece of Sheena stamping card and stamped the image with Archival ink and masked over with masking fluid.


Ok, I have soaked the paper with water and added some black india drawing ink to form the sky and added some hills in the background. I then rubbed away the masking fluid.


Here I have stamped some tree tops (Inkylicious) in black and then restamped over the top with some white embossing powder.  I have painted in angel using Spectrum Aqua markers diluted as paints and I have added some white modelling paste to the branches.


What a beauty! I added some Diamond Ice crystals with some glue to all the branches for snow and printed my sentiment on to vellum.

Mat and layered.

Really pleased with this one, perfect for a wintry thank you.

Don't forget to have a go at our new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges "Winter or Spring" REMEMBER we must see the focal point of your project as rubber stamping - we love to see how creative you all are!

    Another stunning card Leanne and I can definitely feel the chill here. The Owl stamp is a real beauty and I love the way that it's warm, rich colours stand out so beautifully against the grey and snowy background, the branches and sky look great too. I think I may need to come to you for some advice on how to use masking fluid as I can't seem to use it without it buckling my card. I think I may just be using too much. I won't give up with it just yet as I've seen you use it many times with great success. It's a superb card, well done! Enjoy your day. Crafty hugs, Sandra x

    Diamond ice crystals are perfect for adding dimension and making everything sparkle like pieces of transparent glass. Mr Owl looks as pleased as punch with your results Leanne and so he should because it is gorgeous.
