Stamp Showcase - Silhouette Seed Heads.

By
I designed some new stamps last week and took them along to a workshop I was taking and completely sold out! I have now made some more so I am able to upload the designs to my web site (see top tab bar).
The most popular stamps at the moment are tending to be the silhouettes and here are some cards I made with some of them
I have never used a Big and Juicy ink pad before so I borrowed one from a friend to make this card - I think it is the Spice. I used my brayer and was amazed at how quick the colours went on. I used a post it note circle for the sun and only needed to re-ink my brayer once to achieve the above result. I then used the same ink pad to stamp the seed heads and plantain stems.
The next card took a lot longer to create

Again I used a post it note for the moon and used 3 different ink pads. This took alot of time re-inking my brayer and applying it to the card stock - great fun though. The teasels are stamped first using a dark blue ink and are stamped twice before re-inking. The plantain stems are then stamped in black ink. I then made sure that my work was completely dry before stamping the seed heads in Versamark ink. They were sprinkled with white embossing powder and set with a heat gun.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed your visit - see you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    Absolutely stunning cards Jacqueline with gorgeous colours on both. I've got that same big n juicy ink pad which I think needs an airing now as I don't use it enough.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week.
