Good Day All, Today I'd like to share with you some projects I created using the brand new stamps and poly plates from Crafty Roo Designs. Did you see Kym on Hochanda on Thursday 12th March? Not a problem if you missed the show as you can still catch it on the Hochanda website, along with Kym's previous couple of shows. I made a few samples for the show, so I thought I'd share them with you over the next few days.
My projects today feature the Midi - Chirp and Midi - Ewe Stamps;
For my first card I used The Blob Poly Plate, Midi - Fearlessly Authentic, and Chevron stamps; Along with the leaves from the You Are.. stamp set. Using the Blob Poly Plate and Distress Oxides I created a background for my Bird. I decided to turn the Chick into a Peacock so combined Leaves from the You Are.. stamp set with the Midi - Chirp stamp. I coloured my Chick with Alcohol Markers before fussy cutting him and the leaves out and adhering them to my background. To echo the blue in the Peacock I stamped my sentiment with Blue Versafine Ink.
I had lots of fun creating my next card, I realised one of the Flower Blob Poly Plates could also be used as an Egg. I decided to give my Egg some legs so it looked like the Chick inside was trying to get out, but had only got his legs out. I used Distress Oxides for this card, as they give a lovely chalky effect which resembles egg shells. To add texture to my background I used the Bubble Wrap Texture stamp. To ground my Chick I used a permanent pen to add some lines for shadows of his legs and shell, as well adding an horizon. I used a Brown Distress Oxide to add my shadows.
For my last card using the Midi - Chirp stamp I decided to turn one bird into two, by using one of my Poly Plates to mirror stamp the Midi - Chirp stamp. I used the Heart from the Be Kind set (a retired Freebie). I coloured both birds and the heart with Alcohol Markers. For my Background I used both Distress Ink and Distress Oxide Ink along with the Bubble Wrap and Loopy Texture Stamps.
I added my background paper to a card blank, followed by some Turquoise and Pink Organza before adding on my pair of Love Birds.
My final card for today is the only card I created using the Midi - Ewe stamp, but I did use it a lot!
The first thing I did was to create a mask of the Ewe, using a scrap of paper and a little repositional adhesive. I then stamped one Ewe with Black Versafine Ink and all the rest with Grey Versafine Ink. I coloured this card with Alcohol Markers. I used the Midi - Being Different sentiment stamp for this card as it goes perfectly with my Rainbow Ewe.
