Bumbleberry Blog — Stamping

Hi there, welcome to this weeks, Wednesday Blog post. With me Jo Summers , I decided to get more from my original Distress inks, as I tend to forget about them now we have the oxides. But as much as I love the Oxides, I find the give a chalky finish.  This time I wanted something more vibrant. Plus a speedy way to get a water colour finish. So call it a cheat way, I call it a technique.     Products Tropical Flowers By My Favourite Things https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/new-releases/products/tropical-flowers    Distress Ink Pads (original) Picked Raspberry Twisted Citron Mowed Lawn...

Hey lovelies!Today I wanted to share a quick birthday card using Avery Elle's "Legendary" stamp set! I started by cutting two white panels using the largest and second largest of Mama Elephant's "Basic Rectangles" Creative Cuts. In the smaller panel I used part of the die from Avery Elle's "Focal Point Stripes" Elle-Ments to cut my striped window.

Hey lovelies!Today I'm sharing a celebration card using the "Tiny Terrarium" stamp set from Waffle Flower! I love the image from this set and knew I wanted to keep the rest of the card simple to let it really shine on it's own. I used my Misti stamping tool to stamp my image using Gina K's Amalgam Jet Black ink and coloured it using my alcohol markers. I added some white highlights and details with a gel pen and fussy cut it out. I cut a panel from white card stock using the largest of Mama Elephant's "Basic Rectangles" Creative...

Hey lovelies!This week I'm sharing two cards using Waffle Flower's "Office Birthday" stamp set, both relatively simple to make! I was instantly drawn to these adorable hamsters as soon as I saw this set! I had to make a birthday card using them and decided to go for a more masculine feel, keeping the hamsters as the pop of colour in the corner!

I coloured them with my alcohol markers, added some details and highlights with a white gel pen and fussy cut them...
