Faux Postage Stamps: Weihnachten
26 minutes ago
Thursday, 12 April 2018
I played a little with a couple of Penny Black Brush stroke stamps yesterday… I have a real weakness for their beautiful designs.
I’ve been wanting this stamp for a long time but wouldn’t get it because I thought it was a bit limiting…I gave in eventually and love the way it’s turned out. Long tailed tits are among my favourite birds, being one of the smallest in the UK. I used to love watching them flying in to the feeders, in flocks of around 13 – they always sound as if they’re ‘tinkling’ like bells and are such a delight to watch. So I tried to emulate their colouring, though it’s not perfect. I like the result, though the beaks look a little more finch like, the way I’ve coloured them…
I’d like to link this to the Penny Black Saturday challenge – Anything Goes.
I also found my Duo Daubers when sorting out my Craft Room, so I thought I’d play with them and this PB stamp.
I usually colour with Prisma pencils after stamping, but with the DD being pigment inks, I just embossed, which means they’re a bit bereft of shading, but they’re still ok.
This one is for two challenges and uses up one of the ‘too dark’ backgrounds I made a while ago on linen card, using Glimmer Mists. The texture of the card makes the wording look a bit lost, but it looks better in real life. I used Brilliance Moonlight white, stencilled, to try to lighten it a bit and coloured the SU lady with Prisma colour pencils.
This is for
Addicted to Stamps and More – Make your Mark

and
Stamping Sensations One for the Girls
I just went to add my link to Addicted to Stamps and More and discovered my card was chosen as Top Addict – wow! Thank you so much, peeps. I’m honoured
Then I did a simple page in my Journaling Bible…
More in progress, so I’ll be back soon.
Thanks for looking

The SU girl is one of my favourite stamps - had a phase but haven't used them for a while - you have spurred me on. I will revisit soon.
Love your bird card - reminds me of a Chinese watercolour - so pretty. Daffs have a special meaning to me and I just love them anywhere but especially like the way you have used them on here, and coloured them.

Wonderful cards and a great page.
Another great entry for our 'For the Girls' theme at Stamping Sensations challenge Cath, thanks so much for joining in again. Have you seen the new PB releases out yesterday, my willpower evaded me I'm afraid and waiting for CUL's delivery to land.
