Bleed Through Technique with Lynne Perrella PaperArtsy Stamps

 

Hi friends!  I'm so excited to be sharing a new blog post on the PaperArtsy blog.  I've used images by my all time favorite stamp designer, Lynne Perrella, to create a vintage inspired journal. 

 

Along the way, I discovered a really neat technique, which I'm calling Ethereal Bleed Through Stamping.  I shared a video tutorial on Instagram HERE.

Here you can see the front and back, with the gorgeous bleed through.  It's such a fun technique and I hope you will try it!

This gorgeous stamp is set LPC041, which you can find at TopFlight Stamps.  I also used stamp set LPC010, a true favorite!

Tim Holtz Stamps and Dies Valentine Cards

Happy Valentine's Day weekend friends!  It has been ages since I had a good play with my Tim Holtz products, so this post is gonna be a doozy!  Lol!  Grab a cuppa...  I absolutely LOVE making Valentine cards and LOVE making inky backgrounds.  I actually have about a hundred or so in a basket by my chair and decided to have a sit down and try to turn some of them into cards.  The result was five Valentine cards in one sitting!  It was such fun and I really enjoyed this fresh bit of mojo returning.  Up first, I did a layering with Dots & Circles and Newsprint & Type.  I used the Numeric stamps for my focal point, framed with the Stacked Postage die.  I tucked in a Crochet lace strip and finished with a twine bow and sticker sentiments.  The cancellations are from Tim's Holiday Postmarks.

Next, I used one of my favorite background stamps ever, Tim's Ornate & Lace, paired with the new Brushstroke Flowers #1 dies.  I layered some cut up inky pieces stamped with Ledger & Script to make tags, adding little mica hole reinforcers.  I used Tim's alphabets for the focal point, with another piece of mica layered atop.

My next card also featured Ornate & Lace with gold embossing.  I embossed the moth from Geo Insects to coordinate and used tiny alphas for the sentiment.  

This card was made with Oxides for the background with the Gothic Stencil, with a focal image from the Lady Rose stamp set.   I finished it with the Crochet die and a banner from the Sketch stamp set, in which I stamped one of Tim's sentiments.

My final card was an inky background from Aged Mahogany, Ripe Persimmon  and Raspberry, which I embossed with the new Engraved 3D embossing folder.  I sanded a piece of gold Kraft Core card and cut the Faceted Heart die.  I finished with a sentiment from the Shadow Script #1 set and an embossed Adorned die to coordinate.  These were so much fun to create and I hope they've inspired you to have a go at using up some of your backgrounds today.  Happy Valentine's Day and hugs, Autumn
