Busby-Cheung July 21, 2010

A baby is born – Using a selection of the poppy stamps, the baby fairy and leaf trail. After a little trial and error my final technique was to stamp up the poppy images with versa mark watermark stamp pad, then ink up the poppies using Versafine – spanish moss / satin red or olympia green / crimson red. Once I was happy with my poppies I then sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heated. I then used the leaf trail and imperial purple to frame the top of the card. Finally I stamped the baby fairy in the middle and also created a mask on a post it note. I then used a brayer and inked Adirondack stonewashed over the bottom half and sunshine yellow / red pepper over the top. I finished off with some stars in Versafine smokey grey.

Thank you for sharing your technique Busby

These are all the beautiful free stamps I got with Craft Stamper magazine. I stippled the inks on as I find I keep getting lines with the brayer. Used distress inks pumice stone and tumbled glass and Adirondack Twilight Lavender.

Lovely card Liz, keep practising with the Brayer….if you are getting lines take more ink off, you will master it.

I used my trusty brayer along with Citrus and Purple Twilight inks for the background of this card. The stamps were the Horse and Carriage, Bullrushes, Christmas tree group and the Vine …. I really had fun making this.

Thank you Eileen.
