Another choice of stamp from my short stack. I’ve been trying to think of a different way to work with this stamp and today, with much trepidation, I pulled out my brayer. We were slightly reacquainted, but there is still a lot of bonding to do. On this card I really played it safe with that brayer because I’m not so much at home with using it. First, I stamped with Black Brilliance then embossed with clear embossing powder. I masked off the sky and brayered in the mountains, then masked the mountains, laid down a dot for the sun and brayered over it with SU Bordering Blue. I pulled up the masking dot and colored the shape with So Saffron and More Mustard.
Supplies:
Stamps: Wordsworth
Paper: K&Co; Bazzill
Ink: Black Brilliance; SU Bordering Blue: SU More Mustard; SU So Saffron; SU Mellow Moss; Versamark
Accessories: Brads, ribbon
The image on this second card was fished out of the garbage at my daughters insistence; she maintained that she like it better than the other……go figure. This card was colored with chalks. Note to self: once you chalk over already heated, clear embossing powder, the chalk does not come off.
Supplies:
Stamps: Wordword
Paper: My Minds Eye; Bazzill
Inks: Versamark,
Accessories: Embossing Powder, ribbon, brads
OK–I would have pulled that one out of the garbage too! They are both nice–but I like the lighter one also. Not sure what it is about it–maybe that it looks more hopeful, like the verse–where the first one is darker in mood? But they are both lovely! Thanks for sharing them!
i like them both. they are both loveyly and i like the sentiment. thanks for sharing.
I have to agree…they are both great! But why would I expect anything less from you! You blessed me today. thanks.
I like them both, Becca! You did a wonderful job with the brayering too. That’s one of my favorite scriptures, a wonderful one to bring to mind when life tosses us to and fro! Thanks so much!
Love them both, and receiving them would be an encouragement to anyone! You’ve inspired me to go try some brayer work…
