Jean's Flowers

Evening Everyone,

I hope that you have had a productive day. I chickened out of a walk this afternoon in favour of some crafty playtime. A no brainer really......walk in the cold and maybe slip over or sit in the warm and play!!!

1/

One of my all-time favourite Hobby Art stamps has to be this floral stamp.

2/ 

It was taken from a painting done by the Mum of my good friend Anna.

3/

My stamp is an original wood mounted rubber stamp, but it is now available as part of a clear stamp set CS207D Jean's Flowers which also contains several of Jeans other fabulous painting inspired designs.

4/

We all like to get good value for money, so we want designs that can be used in a variety of different ways.

5/

With this in mind I have held several 'With One Stamp' classes over the years and this is definitely a favourite stamp to use.

6/

There are so many different cards that you can make,

7/

So here are just a few to get you started.

8/

Some use hand made backgrounds and inks

9/

Others are die cut or torn from a panel.

10/

Some use several images,

11/

while others only use part of one.

I will write a brief list of the techniques involved on each card just to give you some ideas.

1. Bleeding Art Tissue background panel. Images painted with bleach.
2. Spotlight panel of bleeding Art Tissue. Background stamping uses the damp tissue as an ink pad.
3. Bleeding Art Tissue background and Spotlight created from a panel die cut from Card 4.
4. Window Card. Image painted with inks. Die cut window used on Card 3.
5. Background panel created with Pixie Powders and cling film.
6. Stamped and Embossed image sponged with Distress Inks. Image painted with water and blotted with kitchen paper to remove ink.
7. Same as Card 7.
8. Stamped and embossed image painted with ink. Images on main card painted with Pearlex.
9. Torn hand made background panel, image painted with inks. Multiple Resist background.
10. Masterboard panel layered onto a piece of scrunched kraft card.
11. Mop up background panel with stamped and embossed floral image painted with inks.

I hope that this helps, but you can always message me if you need any more detailed info on how I have created a specific card.
