Dear friends, I'm so excited today to share some samples with you using my first ever stamp illustration. You may recall I've recently released a stencil and another definition stamp set with Creative Worship Stamps, but this release is extra special to me because it's my first hand drawn illustration. I chose a snowdrop bunch because they are perfect for wintertime crafting and so symbolic.
I have a few cards I created with the Snowdrop set to share with you today. First is a a grungy design with lots of inking and background stamping. I had a background making party with some friends and used Distress Oxide Spray in Tumbled Glass, then added some Vintage Photo and stamping with the Texture Tiles 1 stamp set (music and splatters) and sponged through the Lots of Dots stencil.
I watercolored the gorgeous
Snowdrops stamp set and cut them with the
coordinating dies. I used a combination of Bundled Sage, Weathered Wood and Vintage Photo for the coloring. I finished by stamping the gorgeous Psalm 30:5 sentiment in Chipped Sapphire across the bottom.
My husband and I celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary this month, so I used the
Snowdrops stamp set to make him a lovey/Valentine/anniversary card. I made a pink background with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide and sponged Worn Lipstick through the
Blotchy Dots & Hearts Stencil, which I sprayed with water and dabbed for a more subtle effect.
I stamped the
Snowdrops in Cobblestone grey inks and watercolored the with the same pinks plus Bundled Sage then cut them with the
coordinating dies. I made a tag layer by stamping the 1 Corinthians 13:4 sentiment from the
With Love stamp set in Cobblestone and spritzing with water repeatedly to dab away and make it more subtle. I finished by stamping the anniversary sentiment from the same set and layering with a piece of lace & crinkle bow.
My final card today was made by stamping the
Large Snowflake Background stamp with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide onto a teal panel. I spritzed the ink with water to activate the oxidization.
I watercolored the
Snowdrops with the same ink, plus Mowed Lawn. Next I sponged through the
Peppermint Stripe stencil onto a torn panel. I finished with the sweet words from the Snowdrop set. I hope you've enjoyed these projects and will take a look at my new designs. Thanks so much for your support! xx, Autumn
