Postcard stamp and die collection from Stamps By Me

Hello everyone  xx

Hope you're all well and have a lovely day planned

I'm back with some more samples for the new
Postcard stamps and dies collection being released now on c&c, by Stamps By Me 

I used:
By The Lake
By The Tree
Follow The Path

Today's samples are all watercoloured using the new Artist Watercolour Wheel.  I'm very new to watercolourin so these were a challenge but the images made it so easy.
Hope you like them.

Also used:
Best Wishes die Tag 3
Tall Flowers die
Artistic Stitch Frame die
Wildflower stamps
Distress Oxides
Distress Inks
Versafine

I used the spotlight technique for this sample with By The Lake..adhering the square panel temporarily,  before stamping image in Smokey Grey versafine
I used the Artist Watercolour Wheel and a paint brush to colour it in.
The sentiment die is from the Best Wishes die Tag 1

I used a square die to create a frame
The image, By The Tree,  was stamped in Smokey Grey versafine and coloured in using the Artist Watercolour Wheel

I used the Artistic Stitch Frame die to create a frame for By The Lake , which was stamped in Smokey Grey versafine.
It was coloured in using the Artist Watercolour Wheel
Tall Flowers dies were used to create a 3d dimension to the sample

The Artistic Stitch Frame die was used again to frame the Follow The Path image... however my twist on this stamp was to make the "path" a river. .gives more versatility to this stamp!
It was coloured in using the Watercolour Wheel
Wildflower 4 & 5 were stamped in Cracked Pistachio and Peeled Paint Distress Oxides to add some dimension to the sample

I hope you enjoyed looking through today's post .. I had lots of fun colouring these in.

Be Glamorous by Stamps By Me

Hi lovely crafters

Hope you're all well. Any plans for today?

My blog for today is using the beautiful new
Be Glamorous stamp set and
Artistic Stitch Frame 1 die, available from Stamps By Me 

Also used:
Distress Inks : Spun Sugar, Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire, Salty Ocean, Mowed Lawn
Distress Oxide : Cracked Pistachio
Acetate
Sequins/beads
Shaker tape
(Stencil/texture stamps)

• Use the die to cut out an aperture square frame, on white card. Ink around the edge in Tumbled Glass DI. Adhere acetate over the back of this.
• Adhere shaker tape, on the reverse side, around the aperture and around the edge of the frame
• Cut a square of white card the same size and using your Distress Inks  ( in any combination of colours), ink them onto a glass mat, spritz with water and drag the card through it, to create a watercolour smooshed background
• Stamp the sentiment in black onyx versafine 
• Lay sequins/beads of your choice onto the acetate, within the aperture,  and then adhere your smooshed background to the back, to create your "shaker"
• Using this as a guide, stamp the beautiful Flower, in Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean DI'S, so it appears to be coming from being your shaker component. 
• Add a hint of colour to the flower using a water brush and Distress inks 
• Ink through the Honeycomb stencil and stamp randomly,  using a texture stamp, with the Distress inks 
• Now adhere the shaker component to the right side of your card blank, to complete 

I hope you've enjoyed today's post
