New Stamps...

Happy Monday,

I hope you all enjoyed the stunning new Die launch over on Sue Wilson's Particraft blog last week.  I thought I would showcase the wonderful matching stamps to die for this week that are designed to match the new die range

I had to start with the new Lilly Corner as it is the first sample I made when I got the stamps, I really enjoyed colouring this to look like a stargazer lily!

I stamped the Lily corner twice in watering can Archival ink.  I coloured just the flowers on one of the images using a mixture of distress markers  ( Worn lipstick, tattered rose etc)  I ran the colour around the edges of the petals then pulled the colour out, to shade, using a water brush.  I did the same with the leaves and foliage.  I then added darker dots in the centre of the petals to replicate the stargazer lily look ( the stamp comes plain allowing you to colour to look like many different flowers)


Next I cut these flowers out and decoupaged them with from tape, over the first stamped image.  This I coloured around the edges and then again pulled the colour out using a water brush which shed the distress ink form dark to light in the centre.

I cut an aperture using the matching die and foam mounted this above the stamped image and made the remainder of the card around this.

A simple die cut but I really think this fares the stamped image.
