A is for Angler

Hi Crafters,

I've been getting inky over the Easter weekend and this is what I've created using my Distress Inks and a variety of stamps.

Recipe

Distress Inks for the background

Versamark Onyx Black Ink foreground Stamping

Memento Green Inks

Woodware Angler Stamp and Sentiment

Various Sheena Douglas Stamps

Lavinia Stamps

Marianne Corner Die LR0143

I created the background by tearing a piece of paper and using the jagged edge with my inks for the mountains and water. The clouds were inked using another piece of card that I had cut to shape. Then it was just a case of over stamping the foliage and Angler image. I'm quite pleased at how this turned out.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Cardz 4 Guyz - #113 Something Beginning with 'A' (Angler)

Unicorn Challenge - #7 Clean & Simple

One Crazy Stamper - March ATG

A lovely day in Norfolk today, cool and windy but the sun is shining beautifully. It certainly makes me feel happier - plus I have managed to get three lines of washing dry and that somehow makes me even happier - sad house wife I guess :/

Hope you are having a great day too.

Getting Inky

Hi Crafters,

I decided it was time to get my Distress inks out and here is one of the cards that I created. Now that my hands are multiple shades of green and brown I think I'd better invest in some plastic gloves :/

 

Recipe

Image - Sheena Douglas Stamp - The Majestic Oak

Birds - Inkylicious Stamp Set

Sentiment - Woodware Stamp - Kim's Coppice

Distres Inks - Black Soot, Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint, Mustard Seed.

Wood Grain Embossing Folder

EK Success Corner Punch

 

 

I started by stamping the tree and birds and heat embossing them with black EP, masking the moon with a circle of paper and then layering up my inks. I used a wood grain embossing folder for the background panel and stamped and embossed my sentiments. Then it was a simple case of matting and layering to finish.
