Today I have a card to show using the lovely new floral perfumery stamp set from Chocolate Baroque, and a technique that I haven't used for a long time, one introduced to me by Doreen Sympson who learned it from Lynnda Worsnop.....
I dusted the stamp with brusho powders, then covered it with pva glue and left it to dry.....I used far too much brusho the first time, so scrapped that
I had used the stamp normally several times before deciding to have another go, and just covered the stamp with the pva this time, intending to colour it later. To my surprise this was the result - there was obviously enough brusho left in the crevices to colour the stamp. I do realise I am admitting here that I hadn't cleaned the stamp at all since my first effort, so apologies to all who religiously clean their stamps after every use!
It does take about 24 hours to dry the pva, but it is easy to peel off the stamp then. I trimmed round the image with scissors then glued it onto a square card blank. Sentiment stamped with versamark and gold embossed.
My DT teamies will be showing you some stunning samples samples over the next few weeks from the new stamps shown on Hochanda last month, so do keep checking the design team blog for some inspiration!
Love this, not heard of the technique before, need to have a try now!
