Altenew Watercolour Frames stamp set

Good morning everyone
Hope you are all well xx

Today it's my weekly Monday morning blog showcasing products for
Bumbleberry Papercrafts

I'm sharing a sample I made using one of the newly released Altenew stamp set

Watercolour Frames

This is such a versatile stamp set, creating beautiful frames to images and sentiments but can also be used alone as a texture stamp.
Over the next few weeks I hope to show you different looks from these stamps , from pretty to grungy..so watch out for them xx

I also used:
Distress Inks : Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass and Dusty Concord
Stencil
Gold embossing powder
Versmark Ink pad



For this sample I decided to use the Spotlight technique so I cut 3 mats in black card,  in decreasing size, and 3 mats in white card, slightly smaller.

I set the black mats to one side

Using temporary adhesive tape, I stuck the 3 white mats on top of each other, in the design I wished the spotlight to be

Using Versmark ink I stamped the outline decorative circle randomly over the 3 mats but ensuring one was stamped centrally on the smallest mat

I heat embossed them with gold embossing powder 

I then stamped the plain outline circle, in Versmark ink,  randomly over the mats and again heat embossed in gold

I stamped the sentiment in the centre of the smaller mats frame, in Versmark ink and heat embossed in gold

Using my distress inks I blended them all over the 3 mats

I also used them to ink through a stencil, to add more depth to the card

Once dry I carefully disengaged the 3 mats then adhered each of them to a black card mat

The biggest layer was adhered to card blank first then I carefully lined up and adhered the middle sized mat and then the smallest mat, to complete the sample 

I hope you enjoyed looking and please feel free to leave comments. .I love to read them xx
