I did really want to share some of the makes from last week, as I adored the stamps I was working with. The A4 stamps are fantastic, I definitely need more of these in my life.
Firstly I used a wonderful mandala stamp which I actually "inked" up using Tim Holtz Distress daubers. I then used my Distress Stains over the top. Make sure the paint is dry, and it will give a lovely resist type effect.
I removed the centre of the mandala, which I put aside for another card (this was the theory....obviously I put it in a safe place, never to be seen again). I then used one of the Distress Crayons to colour in the centre of the image, this covers up any white bits
It also adds depth to the image
I created my background with the Daubers, dragging the two colours along to give a lovely wood like effect. I then stamped and embossed the large mandala image. The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of kraft card, and then I glued the smaller mandala image onto the larger. The sentiment was bowed and glued in the centre of the mandala. I love the white on that background, it looks yummy.
oops, forgot this bit! I mat and layered the card up, and used a nice piece of hessian which I frayed, I liked the texture, it really goes with the image.
There, sentiment in place, job done.
I used the stamps again for the show, I stamped and embossed the two stamps then used the Distress Stains over the top. I then used the Tim Holtz Spritzer which breaks the stains up, and adds a different colour to the mix
I added some colour to the mandala with the distress crayons, blending them in slightly.
This was the one I actually did on the show, which needs making up into a card, but I figured I'm share it with you as the colour combo is completely different.
Thank you for nipping on by. I hope you love the stamps as much as I do, and managed to get hold of them!! More Carabelle!!!
