Beauty is in the Eyes  I absolutely fell in love with this stamp the moment I saw it, so very versatile and lends itself to no end of ideas. The first of mine today is a fan which I bought a month or so ago.

I used acrylic paints and stamped on them using Versafine and Versamark and White Embossing Powder. The Red and White Dots are also Acrylic Paint using a flat ended cocktail stick, the lipstick was applied with a very fine paintbrush.

 

                    

This card incorporates the use of a circle dome and some lacy odds and ends from my stash. Although I did use an antistatic bag to help the glitter not to coat the dome it didn't really work out that way but now I quite like the affect it gives, lets just call that a happy accident. I stamped the image using a Stazon Gothic Purple Inkpad.

 

This card uses a really old stencil from my stash for the background and inkpads, plus some watercolour pencils to colour the image which I activated using a shimmer spray instead of water.

A very simple envelope, made using the  Tagtastic stamp and a section of the the Beauty is in the eyes leaving a section of the tag to allow the name and address to be written in, be sure to use an inkpad that will withstand a rainfall as poor postie can't be held responsible for the weather. I would love a stamped envelope to drop onto my doormat I would open it carefully and keep it and perhaps make a bookmark with it.

Thank you for looking in today

Autumn Leaves

 Autumn Leaves

Hello once again everyone, well I can hardly believe we are already into the second week of November, did someone fast forward the clocks since the end of August because it certainly feels that way to me !! 

Today I would like to share my four samples using the From Nature 1.Such a beautiful set of stamps.The first is such a simple card simply made using a multicoloured inkpad, masking tape, fineliner pen and a gold gel pen.

Mask off the area you want using the tape making sure that there is enough tape either side of the area for stamping, if the there isn't simply use another strip of tape. Stamp using a multicoloured ink pad or if you haven't got one use a few autumnal coloured pads to get the effect desired.

Remove the tape carefully once the ink is completely dry, using a ruler outline the stamped area with a fineliner pen, I added a second line a few millimetres away from the first one as I felt it added more dimension. The word Nature was stamped on an offcut of card and the lines added to tie in with the faux panel. I used the Gold gel pen to highlight the veins on the leaves and to outline the word Autumn.

This card uses a selection of inkpads and gilding flakes plus Versamark and White Embossing powder, to apply the gilding flakes you will need a glue suitable to apply the gilding flakes to. Apply the inks using either a make up sponge to achieve the Bokeh technique. A dark ink used around the outside of the card helps to frame the design.

This card uses some printed card as a background and then the leaves were stamped and coloured using ink sprays, left to dry naturally and then cut out. Shape the leaves and apply to the card using glue gel.

This card also is stamped on to a printed card stock. I used a mask that I had stamped onto 

Masking Tissue fussy cut the image out, stamping the centre image first and then applying the mask before stamping the other images.
