Honey Bee and Sunflower

 This week I am featuring 2 cards from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps “ Honeybee and Sunflower”. While these look the same, they are colored with different mediums. 

On this one I used prisma pencils for the coloring. 

This is colored with alcohol markers. Both are stamped on matte cardstock.

Wide Castle

 Here are two different looks with BKRS “Wide Castle”

This was stamped in black dye ink on glossy CS.  I masked the castle with torn paper towels to stamp the pines. Corner foliage was stamped in the foreground. All colors are dye inks applied in layers with sponges. 

This is stamped in grey on matte CS. All coloring done with pan pastels. I elected to add a moat here for a different look. I like to think the Knight is guarding the castle but you be the judge!

Rejoice Always

 My projects this week are from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps “ Rejoice Always”. 

This was created by combining 2 stamps to create a wreath. 

Both projects were stamped in Stazon and watercolored. 

The 2nd is an ornament painted on a wood slice. I first sand the wood, seal it with Delta clear coat and lightly sand again when dry before stamping the image. Finally, I spray with Krylon clear coat.

Hi folks!  My 2 projects for this week are both made from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps "Evergreens"

This scene was created on matte cardstock and pan pastels applied with sponges.  The background trees are stamped with dye inks in varying shades of greens (the lighter the color the further in the distance it represents ) and the foreground trees with versafine claire black.  I Masked off the portion of the trees I wanted to use with a paper towel.   This is a quick and easy card that makes a statement.  

This candle was stamped on glossy CS in black dye ink and colors applied with a sponge applicator.  I used a torn paper towel to mask off portions of the trees and also added the silhouette image from "Cowboy Minis" in the foreground 

To transfer the image onto the candle tape a piece if white tissue paper to lightweight CS and copy. Separate the tissue paper from CS and position the tissue on candle.  Wrap a piece of waxed paper around the candle covering the image and leave enough excess to hold.  Heat with heat tool being careful not to melt the candle.  You will see the wax from the paper seal the image onto the candle. 

This is a fun technique and makes great gifts.  

 Enjoy, see you next week!

Winter Cardinals

Both stamps used here are from BKRS, “Cardinals” and the tip of the pine branch from “Chickadee”. This was stamped in Stazon and painted with gouache. I first sand and seal the wood with Delta all purpose sealer and give it a quick light sanding when sealer is dry. I finish with Krylon clear coat spray. 

 

Lamppost

This was created with BKRS stamp “ Lamppost and Wreath”. I inked only the portion of the stamp shown here with Marvy black marker and stamped it on matte CS. The sky is colored with pan pastels. The pines in the background are BKRS “Evergreens” stamped in values of grey and the foreground is BKRS corner foliage stamped in black with gel pen red berries added. Pine green dye ink was used for the wreath.
