New Year, New Stash

This is this month's theme at Vintage Stamping Challenges, not really an imposition, is it?

Whether Father Christmas chose your gifts well, or you succumbed to the January sales, you should have no problem in joining us. As always, you don't have to create a vintage project, but you DO have to include stamping though - no digis allowed. Our lucky winner will receive a fab prize of a $20 voucher from Flonzcraft so don't miss out on your chance to win!

For my new stash I used the True Gentleman stamp set and also pulled my new-ish Brushos inks.

Started by spraying some water on a piece of watercolour cardstock and added some Brushos powders in yellow, green, red and blue, adding water where needed .

When my colours were dry, I simply stamped one of the Gentleman in the set and some of their accessories in black Versafine ink.

A closer look at the Gentleman and his dog:

 

I bleached the Gentleman's face and the dog's muzzle, just so you could make him out from all that deep colour. Bear in mind that not all colours bleach equally well. For instance the Ultramarine Blue only bleached out to a turquoise, whilst the red readily fades into nothing.

 

 

 

 

I really enjoyed making this piece and I am itching to try out different approaches and colours.

Go on and hop on over to the Vintage Stamping blog and see all the DT’s work for more inspiration.



I am also entering the card In the Country View Crafts challenge.
