I had seen lots of cards on Pinterest made with these stamps and rather liked the torn edge effect. I started with some hot pressed watercolour paper and used my Peerless watercolour paints to add some background colour. I then stamped the birds and grasses stamps. It is a while since I stamped this card, but I think I used brown and grey inks for the images.
I added some more torn layers in handmade mulberry paper and Co'redinations card and then mounted the whole lot on a black A5 card blank. I finished off with the sentiment stamped on more watercoloured paper and finished off with three little gems.
I really love these stamps and look forward to making good use of this set.

Loving the stamp set but also love the ripped/torn papers...it really adds an extra dimension and texture to the piece.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend x
This is a lovely card Elaine, the stamps are great and I like the torn paper element.

I like the way your gems balance the pennant greeting & your black card base works exquisitely with the aqua colours plus that little pop of ochre sand. The grey stamping is so much subtler than if it had been done in black & suits the idea of non permanence intimated by the tide & the waders.

Both cards are beautiful, the effect of the ripped card stock works so well with the image on the top one. I hope you are doing well, it's been extremely busy here. Take care, Shirleyx

Love the layering with the torn edges and it creates some nice texture too. I have admired many cards made with this set and you've made a beautiful start with your card Elaine. Look forward to seeing many more.
