Vintage Elegance

Good Morning and Welcome.

Today, I am playing with a beautiful stamp from Penny Black called Blossom Branch and some Weathered Wood Distress Oxide ink.

I began by placing an acrylic mask from A Colorful Life Designs over my white cardstock as I wanted to be left with a clean, white border.  I placed the stamp inside my Misti, inked it up with some Weathered Wood DOX, sprayed with water and stamped.  I dried the piece a bit, then I coloured directly onto the stamp with some black and a hint of blue using  Memento markers, sprayed with more water and stamped again.  The blue and black added some great detail to the flower petals.  I sponged the edges very lightly with some more Weathered Wood.

Before I cut the piece down, I used my ScorPal to score a border around the edges to help define the stamped area.  I glued the piece onto some grey cardstock and pop dotted that over a dry embossed background.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
