wildest dreams

  This stamp set seemed to cry out for monochrome , or at least this stamp strip did.....
Both the bird strip and the words were stamped in black versafine ink and clear embossed, trimmed down and edged with black ink. The central bird was coloured with marker pens, then both pieces mounted onto a white card blank.
This image from sing your song was stmped in black versafine ink and clear embossed, then coloured with brusho powders using s damp paintbrush to add the colours, and baby wipe to reomove some of the colour to try to give an impression of a misty sun.
The white card blank was randomly stamped with the same image using grey ink and holding the stamp so that only the bubbly bit was used. The words stamped over the top with black versafine before adding the trimmed down image.

Brusho dawn

 Let your heart sing from Chocolate Barqoue has been one of my favourite stamp sets for ages, I just love the bird silhouette , and as a plus it is perfect for using with my favourite brusho powders!
Here are three versions in different colourways, but they all look more like dawn skies to me - could be wrong there.....

The first one used a whole sheet of card colouted with brusho, stamping the image on the best bit using black versafine ink and clear embossing powder. trimming close to the image. Two panels cut from the rest of the sheet, all on thin bklack mats and mounted onto a square white 8" card blank.




The other two, image stamped first and embossed, then coloured with brusho powders.

The base card blank was randomly stamped with the music image from the music fanfare set using a light grey ink and holding the stamp in my hand, and more of the ink sponged round the edges.
Sentiment from sing your song stamped in black


The final version I used a red mat, and eged the card bl
ank with red ink to match. I repeat stamped the bird image in light grey across the bottom of the card blank
