Stained Glass Look with Stamps

Hi Everyone!

The I Brake for Stamps shop has a wonderful selection of Stained Glass stamps. I decided to use this one today because the diamond shape really caught my eye!

I heat embossed the stamp with white powder on watercolor paper. I then colored in the sections with Tombow water-based markers. I then blended the color, section by section, with a paintbrush dipped in water that I had mixed with Perfect Pearls. It is really obvious in person, but only the close-up photo shows the lovely shimmer!

I was in a bit of a traditional mood, so I finished off the card with old patterned papers from my stash and some gems.

This stamp is part of MS89 Full Plate, along with 8 other images, in the I Brake for Stamps shop. The sentiment is from Quarter Sheet Dahlia. You can always use my affiliate code BPMHeidi to save 15% off your order!

Clean and Simple Thank You Notes!

I wanted to thank everyone for their recent kind comments! Wow, I am really behind in returning the love, but it is so meaningful to me that you took the time to visit my blog!

I mean to be making Christmas cards this month, but my son let me know that he needs more thank you cards for graduation gifts, so I make a couple quick ones today.

I used old favorite stamps in my stash for these cards! The first card was stamped on glossy cardstock which I had swiped inkpads over to get an abstract look. The second card, I used Distress Oxide ink and then spritzed with water before stamping.

Stamps Used:

Hero Arts Leafy Vines background Stamp

Hero Arts Newspaper Tulip stamp

Hero Arts Cursive Thank you

A Little Birdie Told me, It’s Your birthday!

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you already know I love birds. In fact, I was just out at a park looking at them. So many cute baby birds, learning the ropes, this time of year! So I always am drawn to the great bird stamps!

This card using stamps from three different sets that I will link below. The bird and branch were stamped in brown ink and colored in with pencils and markers. The blue circle behind them is die cut from my sheet of paper that I brayered all the extra acrylic paint on when I was doing some gelli prints. Finally, the background was done with a stencil and the shaving cream/reinker technique. They all happened to get pulled together with the stamps!
