These are mainly papercuts. The horse was a new die, the hummingbird we had last year and the thistle is an old die but new to us. I have looked at colouring images with simple backgrounds and keeping plain images against a prepared background ( Pixie powders & my clean up sheets).
I decided to use "Things we see in the countryside" as a theme for August.
The Country Lane house stamp I have done in various ways- black ink, brown ink, different coloured ink & different coloured embossing powders. This was so that we could compare different effects.
I then looked at some other stamps we have used in the past ( I still have the gate for sale so that features a lot) and I also looked at combining gate with the new country lane house.
This month I have looked at pasting large stencils and then using the pasted image with embossing powders
This time I used crackle paste over the pasted image
Not a large stencil this time but double pasted again. This time with translucent paste over yellow matt paste which had been coloured.
I was recently asked about a picture on display which has scenes made from embossing powders so I thought I'd include them in August Workshop Ideas. Original Ideas came from Fran @ Stampendous. They are a good way of using up old embossing powders although I start with a clear UTEE base.
Since our gardens are full of flowers I felt I had to do some more. It was also a chance to try out some of the newer flowers dies we have in.
Stamped flowers were shown recently
new flower cards....
ON looking at what we should revisit this month I decided on the media plates since they go well with the flowers on our garden theme for the month.
