What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 96

Happy WOYWW everyone!

Well, one hectic week so will be brief as I am still in middle of much ado about nothing! so here is my workdesk this morning some new stamps by Crafty Individuals newly arrived from Fat cats (see link here).

I was sent one as sample (the Damask Duck) and bought two as well - they have amazing detail and sooo gorgeous.

They are great to play with!


Here my samples are using my brayer and Big and Juicy Stamp Pad (Hydrangea) and Iridescent medium,(I dropped this on with an eye dropper in the middle of the brayering the ink pad colours) to give it that sheen..
{Note to Maggie and others: I put the drops of medium on the paper not the brayer, and it is available at any art shop which sell watercolours, (Winsor & Newton) or eBay where I bought mine very very cheaply!}




The photo does not show sheen properly but you kind of get the idea! You can also see wedding card elements on the table too, which I am supposed to be making.


For those of you wondering why we are looking at incomplete cards on desks take a peek at Julia’ s glorious blog and you will discover a whole new world  – at Julia's Stamping Ground!

May God bless you all,
Shaz in Oz. x

    Thanks for dropping around and commenting on my blog Shaz! I'm loving the cards. I think I'm going to have to get myself some of that iridescent medium.... not sure where though. See you next week for WOYWW, if not before!

    Well done, Shaz, those are really lovely. I have to ask, did you drop the iridescent medium on to the card or on to the brayer. Can we have a tutorial, please.

    All the stamps on your desk are on my wish list. I might just have to change them to my bought list! I love CI stamps. Thank you for your kind words on my blog and words of encouragement. At least this week I can get round to more desks as I am now housebound!

    P.S. what was your answer to Maggie's question please?

    Lovely cards, especially the one with the watch, male cards need that little bit extra thinking about don't they?
