This week
Christmas Card Challenges #46 and also the
October Rudolph Days challenge are both "Anything Goes". So here is a santa card for the challenges....I really like this stamp but have struggled to ink it up nicely to stamp but discovered that if I use a brayer to apply the ink I get a lovely even cover and perfect stamped image. Because the image is quite finely detailed just inking with maroon is very effective....so I just layered the panel onto a celadon green coloured layer and a matching maroon onto a white card and then finished off with a gold embossed sentiment that I also layered and 3D mounted. Thanks for taking a peek
With a lovely stamp like that you only need a sentiment. He's a really jolly traditional Santa. A lovely card Robyn. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteAs you say Robyn a lovely detailed image, and how utterly clever of you to work out using a brayer for the inking of this stamp, it would be a shame to waste it, so well done.
ReplyDeleteLove the maroon stamping with the gold embossed sentiment too!
So delighted to be GDT member for Rudolph Day Christmas Challenge, thank so much for sharing with us your creative inspiration.

What a gorgeous stamp and card Robyn I love the colour you've used to stamp him and the tip about trying a brayer for inking the stamp.

Yes, it is so pretty and a perfect impression! I was just reading an old article about brayers. Maybe a tool I should get out more often. TFS!
