Whimsy Stamps - Butterflies and Stained Glass Scripture for Easter

Hello everyone.

I hope this week is being kind to you.

I had such fun making an inky mess last week that have been playing with texture paste and sparkle again!

I have made a set of scripture themed cards - it meant a lot to me to make these, I'm probably not alone in saying that faith has been on somewhat shaky ground recently!

To create the backgrounds I used Magical Powders by Lindy's Stamp Gang. I have only just discovered these little pots of gorgeousness but oh my word, if you like getting inky they are game changers!

I combined the backgrounds with some beautiful Whimsy Stamps products and have to say I did feel happy with the final designs!

Zen Garden - Whimsy Stamps

Hello everyone...

Today we have a super mini release at

Whimsy Stamps

I made some Mixed Media ATC style cards with a beautiful new stamp

Zen Garden Rubber Cling Stamp by Deb Davis (Amped2Stamp)

and I I really don't know what to say about them! /-:

This is my first (and quite possibly my last)! attempt at anything like this!

I am full of admiration for all you Mixed Media Artists out there - you are incredibly creative and I don't know how you do it! All I seemed to achieve was an incredibly messy desk and a blister on my forefinger! (:

(...also apologies for the photo fail - we are in a period of very bad light again here and I am having difficulty capturing a decent photo of anything)!

Here's how I made these cards...

Firstly I took a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card and I blended lines of Distress Oxides in Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, Spun Sugar, Shaded Lavender and Tumbled Glass from the bottom upwards. I then sprayed it with water and let it dry.

Then I die cut the card three times with the largest

Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die

and stamped the

Zen Garden image onto it with black ink as shown.

Then I rubbed texture paste through a different stencil on each card and let it dry.

Next I used a red oil pastel (I use Caran d'Ache Neopastels but any would be fine- I think you could also use Distress Crayons for this if you have them), and using my finger I rubbed red hearts onto the design using a die cut made with the

Slimline Hearts Background Die

as a stencil.

I repeated this process with a black oil pastel and the Polka Dot Stencil.

I then coloured the centre of the flowers with Arteza Pencils. (I just used three random yellow orange and red ones)

I then flicked Mica Powder mixed with water followed by white paint (I used Copic Opaque White but any would do) over the designs and let everything dry.

Finally I stamped several sentiments from the

Simple Sentiments Clear Stamps Set

onto kraft card, cut them out and fixed them to the card designs as shown.
