Faux Postage Stamps: Weihnachten
11 minutes ago
Tuesday, 17 April 2018
I’m really enjoying trying to make something of my old scraps, so here are more…
This is an old Faux Batik background, which turned out too dark, so I used the same stamps used on the background and added a little more to it to lighten it. I used yellow for a change and did a little shadow stamping in the background.
I don’t often use die cuts but I saw these used on the Stamps and Stencils Challenge blog and fell in love with them – they’re also a great way of lightening darker backgrounds. Sorry it’s not a good photo but it’s pretty dark here today
This is another dark (acrylics) background lightened with stencils and white ink or paint, using a Paperartsy Flower stamp and a great Tim Holtz text…
Another Paperartsy stamp and another TH quote…
…and the lovely Woodware silhouette again on a simple inky background.
I’d like to link these to the following challenges.

Lovely card Cath, I especially like the way you thought to lighten up the first one - pure genius - although it was probably fine as it was.
If I had to have a favourite it would have to be the next one - I love the blues you have introduced here.
All gorgeous - thanks for sharing.
Hugs, Neet xx
