Hi everyone, I was really excited at the start of the week when I took delivery of some of Tracy Evans' new stamps - her first release under her own brand. This is the result of my first playtime, combining the new stamps with an older one.
I cut a square of stamping card and created a smoosh background with pink and grey Distress Oxide inks. (Actually I had about three attempts before I was happy, but let's draw a veil over that!). I then stamped my background "Art" wording in Morning Mist Versafine Clair, using the technique of not attaching the stamp to a stamping block ... it didn't work great on this occasion but I carried on regardless!! I also stamped further background stamps around the edges, then stamped the bird in Nocturne in the bottom corner. I stamped my flowers onto separate card, coloured them with Picked Raspberry Distress watercolour pencil, then fussy cut out. I matted the panel onto a black border and a 6" card blank before attaching the flowers using silicone glue and some scrunched cotton thread behind the flowers ... it's the first time I have used scrunched up thread and I don't think I've got the knack yet as I could NOT make it behave itself!! Finally I stamped, cut out and attached the sentiments, then added some white Posca spatters.

Hi Pauline this is beautiful I do so admire how you try out these new techniques I have loads of inks but never do anything with them I think I am stuck in my ways of just stamping and colouring so it really is fantastic to see something like this I even love the string of cotton you have displayed behind the flowers al in all this is a superb work of art
