Bump and Smudge with Penny Black

Evening Everyone,
I think we all have favourite stamps and stamp companies, ones that we come back to time after time. Or a particular style of stamps that we are instantly drawn too.

For me it is the Brush Stroke style of stamps from Penny Black. Each new release provides a massive dent to my bank balance lol.

They are amazingly detailed when stamped out, even though they sometimes look as if they will just be a huge solid blob. The advent of the Stamping Platform has also made it much easier to do blended multiple layered stamping.

This card was created using the 'Bump and Smudge' technique and both brown and blue Distress Oxide inks.

Sometimes the image blurs rather too much when smudged,

but the beauty of using the platform is that you can just stamp the image again using the same colour, or an alternative to add back the definition.

Slightly less 'smudging' here, very Wedgwood :O)

This card shows just how much detail you can get from these stamps.
Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Crafting and hugs
