ALTERINDEX2024 week 10: Black, elegant, pocket
13 minutes ago
Saturday, 19 November 2011
Well, since I messed up last time and this has almost become a black and white challenge (with a hint of colour, lol) I thought I’d make some more cos I love black and white and especially with a hint of colour! This is the first of the batch – more to follow when I finish them off.
This is actually one of my favourite images but I don’t use it a lot because it’s big. I wanted the appearance of a sun setting low in the sky (yes, I’m into setting suns at the moment, can you tell?), so I sponged the sun (through a circle stencil) after I’d stamped and clear embossed the silhouette stamp.
I would normally add some more sky colour in pinks, blues and greys, but since this is LESS IS MORE, I’ll leave the white space!

I don´t own this great stamp, but a friend of mine lend it to me a couple of months ago. I made some prints of it and then ( because you wrote that the stamp ist very big - i write this now) I decided to cut the motiv in two pieces .. then you can have two fantastic ATCs with!

Beautiful - love the colouring in that sun.. I can almost hear them quietly munching and breathing!
My goodness - your creative talent just pours out of you - your cards are awesome - I really adore all your different techniques and you sense of colouring is something that I could never aspire too - but enjoy visiting and drooling over yours.
Your latest 'less is more' are just - well phenomenal - such simple colour schemes make a huge impact!
What can I say about your Explosion of colour scheme on your journal pages. Drop dead gorgeous and by uploading the bigger photos of each page the colours and the texture really show - incredible!

Beautiful scene, Cath! Great stamp!
These are just beautiful! Love what you've done with that circle and ink... if these are not a good visual for why we love stamping, I don't know what is. Off to check out LIM. Thanks for the nudge!
So glad I came to visit! What a lovely sunset...come by for a visit!
