I am lucky girl!
We have just seen the release of Alison Bomber's first stamps sets with PaperArtsy and I was lucky enough to have a play with them early. I have a post tonight over on the PaperArtsy blog but am sharing a few more details here too.
I also used these stamps earlier today for my Tag Friday post for A Vintage Journey - you can find this one here.
Alison (Words and Pictures) has selected some inspirational quotes for two stamp sets one called Trees and Flowers (EAB01) and the other Darkness and Light (EAB02). Here they are if you haven't seen them!
I love these quotes - so inspiring and thought provoking!
I have made a couple of projects using the same techniques:
Stamp set - Trees and Flowers - EAB01
Stamp Set - EAB02 - Darkness and Light
Each piece began by adding Grunge Paste through stencils. Once dry I added Midnight and Blush Fresco acrylics with Matt Glaze - to increase transparency and help the blending of colour. I added Infusions - Sunset Beach and A Bit Jaded and spritzed and blotted until I was happy. I also lightly wiped down the surface vertically. Once dry I sanded the Grunge Paste a little and on the 6x6 panel added a little stamping too.
I have made some more samples too - I will share these another day!
