Imagine...


 Good afternoon,  I recently gave in to temptation and bought some Brejanzart stamp sets (an ebay bargain). I love these fantastical imaginative images. When they arrived I sat and looked at them for ages realising I had no idea how I was going to use them. There are several stamps in each set, I've used just one of them here, together with a Lavinia swirl stamp and a sentiment stamp that I've no idea of the brand. 
The background is a few shades of blue and purple distress inks, blended and stencilled. I stamped the main image and embossed with white embossing powder. I stamped the image again onto a white card using black Memento ink so I could colour with Copics. I coloured the parts of the image that I wanted and cut the rest away, adhered the coloured part in place over the white embossed image, I'm quite pleased with the effect. Plenty more stamps to play with so I need to put my thinking cap on.

Thanks for visiting

Chris
