Good morning and happy Friday. Earlier in the week I had a play day, just for fun, except for the tidying up, and this is what I made.
I'd watched Leonie on Hochanda using an A4 stamp, so decided that it was time to ink mine up.
Never before been inked, but I'll show you an after picture later!
I started by making a background with Deco Art Premium Acrylics, and some Carabelle (Kate Crane) stamping plates.
I put too much paint on this one but I did like it and will use parts of it.
I have lots of different brands of stamps, and they are all kept in their own storage boxes, so I decided to stick with Carabelle for my stamping. These are all going somewhere in the background.
Along with these, and many more that got chosen as I went along.
This is why I never throw the scraps away!
I thought I had lots more photos, but THIS is what I used, and this is only my work table, you should see the other two! There's lots of stencilling with Kate's stencils, and Viva Decor and Izink texture pastes which I really like, and for the eagle eyed amongst you, yes, this is what happened to my huge stamp...
I admit it, my name's Sue, and I'm addicted to my stamping platform! Yup I looked at my stamp and there was a place where I could cut through - I promise no butterflies were harmed, and both pieces can now go on my TH platform separately.
There's lots of texture and crackle going on that you can't really see here.
I also got a bit carried away with the stitching!
We're still a little bit in between indoor and outdoor photographs here, but I do like it, and it fills an A4 page. I really enjoyed my play day (or 2 or 3) and it was good to finally ink some stamps.
I'm entering my page into the Stamping Sensations All Things Bright and Beautiful challenge.
Have a happy weekend, and thanks very much for looking x
