WOYWW + SU Layering Photopolymer Stamps

(Candy results below this post.)

Hi there everyone ...well, do join in with Julia, our Queen of Deskland - over at the Stamping Ground...for  What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday!

Now as I've been very slack in blogging dept., I've a number of cards to share. Don't worry wont do them all at once!

Desk one: playing with a Christmas pressie, disc. item from eBay SU Lotus blossom photopolymer stamp set. One card made and one on the go, with mini misti as it is a layering stamp.
(Edit: in answer to Kathy K. I love my mini misti, you'll be seeing it lots, took me while to get one as not cheap here, then a while to use it as it should be used!).

I did the stamping back the front to instructions as thought it gave better definition, might be just me! I tried both ways though, with same colours.

adding extra colours, to layers... the little dew drops and quite old SU spots are very handy for this sort of stamping.

First card using memento Dew drops rhubarb stalk, Rose red and SU Pixie Pink, both greens were Memento (Bamboo and pear tart?). Didn't do anything to background of this card. Greeting stamps (in Onyx Black Versafine and embossed with iridescent EP) belong to the Lotus Blossom set.

Added various shaded of blended ink to this one on background, to match images, and also SU French script background stamp in London fog

A blue one too! on background again shaded with ink dusters (or cotton-wool balls as used both) various inks similar to flowers. Background stamp is Hero arts Linen and also Thank you background stamp, wiped off so indistinct.

Now to Aussie photos! Took this photo of sister's Cataleya orchid .. not bad is it?? and yes, and maiden hair fern is pretty good too :D

this is especially for Brenda of http://friendscraftinwithfriends.blogspot.com.au/
she loves sunsets .. not as good as her's, but sunset over our place recently.
Truly it shows forth the beauty of the Creator God's handiwork.

May God bless each of you this day in all that you do - and thanks for popping over and saying hi - you do so bless my heart,

Penny Black "Bejeweled" Layered Stamping

Well, it is about time I moved into the computer room to do something... it is has been heatwave here for last three days or four! So little done that wasn't necessary... phew, praise God, for the cool change! 

Bad fires in some parts out west of NSW, so I'm praying for all those hardworking farmers, who lost homes and stock and feed. So heartbreaking. Pray for them!

First layers of greens going down - with mini Misti stamping the PB Bejeweled Used Distress inks and Tombow watercolour markers too, and spritzed them before stamping, very lightly.

Flower: Base of DI Tumbled Glass, Tombow purple + Seedless Preserves DI

After test run starting on card proper .. this as a very special card for my sister's birthday. I was using some very beautiful, but expensive linen card, from UK. Bought twenty sheets of it. As I used two on this card, will have to be selective in use, hence trial runs first.

Added some script stamping over background (smudged off some of ink in certain spots) with SU French Script and Memento London Fog. Used Blue PanPastel for the edging highlight.

Three toppers haven't been made up yet, as had to make other cards... here is finished card. Used Poppy Stamps Fancy Happy Birthday, triple mounted on it.

EDIT: this card above was awarded a top five place over at Allsorts .. Wowee!! :D

 

Penny Black Wonderful Day clear set.. did this for a friend, and 3D-ed as I love to do, mixed coloured with pencils + Promarkers. Papers are Digis, have lost original file (in a clean up, bad me), so no name. SB Marvellous Square, largest die also used. Ribbon from stash.
